Al Lovett caught this fish in the Mississippi River at our marina mouth. Off the point. He used a rod and reel. It was truly a catch of a lifetime. I received the MO Angular award for this fish. I compared it to the picture of Dustin Mcewens fish picture posted by you guys on Dec. 21. There was no way of holding my fish up with my arms. It had to be tied up by a one inch thick rope from the rafters of my garage. We weighed it there after it had been out of the water for 2 hours. It was still way larger than Dustin Mcewens fish. That he claimed to weigh 80 lbs. No Way did it weigh that.
This fish was caught in the Alton Pool Mississippi River. It weighed 70lbs 51 inchs long plus a few. It was much bigger than the picture posted on Dec. 21 by Dustin Mcewen.
