Speaking of big fish
This has to be the cutest story I have heard about in a long time when it comes to fish stories but this one is totally true. It seems a man had taken his granddaughter fishing in the pond behind his house. She had her 30″ pink Babri fishing pole and had caught 3 or 4 blue gills. She asked her grandpa to hold her fishing pole while she went to the ‘little girls room’.
Just as any good grandpa would have done, there he stood holding his granddaughters little pink Barbi fishing pole when all of a sudden, the cork went under and he saw the water around it boil. It took him 25 minutes to land the fish and when he did, it was a North Carolina State Channel Catfish record fish. The fish weighed 21 pounds and 1 ounce and was 32 inches long. That’s 2 inches longer than the pink Barbi fishing pole it was caught on. It measured 22 1/2 around the girth too. What a fishing story.
