Randyman Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Re: world record blue catfish *with picture link* This fish was caught about 15 miles from my home. It was caught in the Mississippi River at the confluence with the Missouri River. It is currently being kept in a large tank in Grafton, Il. and has been bought by Cabela's for display at their Kansas City store. Certified weight was 124 lbs.
