Texas Freshwater Fisheries picks up Pending Lake and State Record

What an incredible opportunity to donate the New Pending Texas State Jr. Record Blue Catfish to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens, Tx. The fish weighed 67lbs on certified scales. (Trotline Bait & Tackle) The fish will live a life of luxury for many many years and she will also provide excellent scientific data to the state biologist to better understand the Texas blue catfish. Congratiulations to the young man who landed this fish (entire video of him catching it is available on Facebook) and to the AWESOME guide, Noel Ibarra who works as hard as any guide in the country to put customers on big fish!
