A Great Fish Story Or What?

Here is the one that didn't get away in Natchez. The blue cat weighed in at 86 pounds.

A team of three fishermen have a fish story for their grandkids.

The team pulled an 86-pound blue catfish from the Mississippi River at Natchez earlier this week.

They caught the fish using a trotline during the Third Annual Natchez Memorial Day Catfish Tournament, WLBT reports.

The biggest blue caught in the state of Mississippi was a 101-pound fish caught in 1997, also at Natchez.

The biggest catfish caught in the Mississippi River was a 124-pounder caught in 2011 near Alton, Illinois.

The blue catfish record belongs to a Virginia fisherman who caught a 143-pound behemoth at Buggs Island Lake near Clarkesville, Virginia.

Is that a fish story or what?
