While fishing?

That is definitely one of the best times to hook a 100+ lb catfish.

How did he get it out of the water? Just grabbed it?

I was hoping he shook it off the line and got back to fishing.

“while fishing...”

That’s better than hunting for a 112 catfish in the woods.

No kidding. I hate it when I hook a 100+lb catfish while performing ocular neurosurgery.

Catch & Release. I think he could have kept it had he chose to.

Pretty common in N.C. actually. I hooked a catfish that bent a 00 bass hook straight one night.

At the base of some of the earth dams in Lake James they get 6’ to 7’ long.

[I think he could have kept it had he chose to.]

That would be a chore to fillet a fish that size.
