The article didn’t mention it, but since the boy and his family are Cajun I’d suspect that fish might make for one big ol’ fish fry ... and just in time for Lent!

So “Catfish Hunter” made it all the way down the Mississippi from Wabasha before he got caught!

Great catch for the kid but in all honesty eating something that big having lived in the lower part of the Mississippi river for as long as it took that fish to get that big is probably loaded with toxins.
Big fish make a great picture, but the smaller ones are much tastier.

WOW!!! THAT’S some catfish!
Had a great-uncle with a fish camp near Oak Grove... learned how to play pool there.
