A North Carolina-based fishing rod company announced what may be a pending state-record blue catfish earlier this month. ⁠ ⁠ The details are thin, but Catch the Fever reports the fish, caught in Kansas, weighs 18 pounds more than the current state record. The company reported that fisherman Danny Mayer may have landed the new Kansas State Record blue cat, at 121 pounds, on a Catch The Fever rod. If verified, the catch could give Mayer a $25,000 prize through the companies ‘State Record Program’. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks confirmed that its agency recently received a record application for the species, but stopped short of acknowledging that catfish was Mayer’s.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #fishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #catfish #bluecat #bluecatfish #catfishing #catfishfishing #outdoors #kansas #conservation #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Danny Mayer⁠ Story by: krebfish
