Shoot lady!! That's a new world record, considering the present record stands at 58lbs!! Either your husband is filling you with lies, or your eyes and ears need some attention!! lmao!!

cannot get past 13 but have caught several right at 13 i think that is as big as they get in the river that i fish:?

Believe mine was a little over 18 lbs.Ive only seen maybe half a dozen bigger than that come outta these rivers around here so I may have trouble topping that.The one I caught was released again so maybe hes still out there gaining wieght and waiting for a re match LOL.

My pb channel is a 20lber taken from my home river during the dog days of summer back in 2000. The closest i have come since is 17lbs last year while fishing for flats . 10lbs in most areas of the country is considered big.I am sure that the section of river that i target flatheads in has potential for 25lb fish,but i have never fished this area for channels puposely .I am able to catch c-cats over 10lbs pretty regular, i have put four in the boat 10lbs or over this year.(Thats not counting the c-cats over ten my fishing buds have landed while fishing in my boat this year.)
