This was just a few days ago and didn't see it posted. Have you ever caught one near this size?

Wonder how much of that meat is actually edible? Looks like one of those that divers say are the size of Volkswagens.

Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.
That's a serious livewell.
I don't think I would keep one to eat. There are plenty of smaller ones for that.

I would have tried to get it off the line beside the boat.
Also in the news: some azzhat stole the 13' metal giraffe from in front of the Civil Life Brewery.
"I thought, 'nobody is gonna take a 13-foot giraffe'. Famous last words."
Talk about strong tasting meat..!!!
Couldn't imagine catching a catfish that big.
Take a picture and let it go.
When we go jugging we usually take pictures of any thing over 40 pounds and release them.

Nice fish! To answer your question I would have my buddy take a picture with the Arch in the background and then I would release it.

That's a cpr.
I doubt I would have been able to pull it off the bottom without breaking off or snapping a rod.

From the article:
"Since 2013, he said, he’s been fishing pretty much every weekend unless there was too much ice on the water. He’s single. "
That fish would not fit in his cleaning station, throw it back.
Ive caught a lot that were 1/2 that size, but not that large. Only thing to do with that is throw it back for another day.
Must use Ducketts?
