wow nice cat !!!!

I bet there are some even bigger records to be caught out there

Boy oh boy thats a helluva big cat!!

That is an awesome fish but it is such a shame fish that big and old are killed to eat or show off. For a mount of it they don't even need the fish. Just alot of pics and the measurements. Anyway like I said on John's site I wonder how long this one will last? Tim Pruitt's lasted 5 years and Cody Mullenix's lasted 1. One more step towards 200.

Holy crap can you just picture that big of a cat buddy 200lbs lol.

Good to see another monster one again. Congrats to that guy who caught it.

Holy Moly!~! That's one hell of a big fish!~! Couldn't even begin to think about catching a 200 lb fish!~!

I wont be surprised to see a real 200 pounder caught. There are reservoirs in California that they stock blues in and they grow up to 10 pounds a year. I believe they grow that fast on the James river as well but I'm not 100 percent sure on that. With a fish that big all it would have to do is lay down. Unless you have heavy saltwater gear you would never move him.

Some day hope to fight one at least 1/2 that size, i have fought 45lbers and many of them and they fought good man that would be fun.

35 is my biggest and I couldn't imagine stacking another 100 pounds on top of them. I would be plenty happy with a 50.

I sure would like to tangle with a couple of 50 pounders too.

Yep yep, a 50 lb'der would be great to get a hold of. Hopefully things will start slowing down for Matt and I soon and we can start getting a bit more fishing in. We haven't been fishing since mid May... Too darned busy and not enough hours in a day to get everything done as it is...
