WORLD RECORD CATFISH

Angler Sean Moffett Caught this MASSIVE Channel Catfish on 7/8/17. It is being submitted for the ALL-TACKLE WORLD RECORD for Length.

It measures an amazing 83 centimeters (Inside Dimension) and will topple the existing record of 80 centimeters if all goes well with the IGFA Record Application.

The Most amazing part about this giant catfish is that Sean wasn't even fishing for catfish. He was bass fishing when the giant kitty cat bit his Keitech Worm. He was only equipped with 10 lb line and the monster fish was in shallow grass. He was in for the battle of his life, lasting nearly 10 minutes!

Whether you enjoy bass fishing, catfishing, or fishing for bluegill and crappie, a fish of this size is worth stopping and checking out. World record fish are always incredible. The biggest fish in the world of any species is special and this one is nothing short of amazing!

Sean,
I met you at Clear Lake today and you were kind enough to offer to help me park my boat in that tight squeeze of a parking lot.
Then you were kind enough to share your catfish story with me.
I later met you at the pier of our timeshare and you were teaching a kid who had never fished some basics and tips on fishing. Very cool brother.
Take care. Hope to see you out here tomorrow.

That's a huge cat! Can't believe he got it in with a spinning rod.

[gregjohnson]

Dude....29lbs on light tackle? Props to Shawn. That is some serious fishing to land a cat like that on such light equipment. Do it, Shawn!!!!

Hey guys I wanted to leave this comment on your most recent vid so you would see it. I watched your frog video and it got me so fired up I went out with nothing but a frog immediately after and caught my first frog fish! Couldn't have done it without your help! Thanks for doing what you guys do!

[trnsfererr]

good stuff. Me and my buddies just caught 2 10 lber catfish over at clear lake by accident while bass fishing.

[Truckfist]

congratulations sir. love hearing these success stories...tight lines fellas

[Xzanthos]

Congratulations Sean, awesome fish! Catching that thing on light tackle just makes it that much sweeter.

[MrBmayes]

Awesome catch! It'd be awesome to see you guys catch some giant species other than bass . I love the bass videos and a bass guy myself but once in a while it'd be fun to see you guys stick giants of another species !

[jramirez]

Great catch. What a monster on light tackle.

[evansupergrany]

Thank you for the quick reply . I'm an old granny low tech kind of gal I don't even know where to find the link below lol just learned how to post a comment from my grandson not to long ago haha . Well that was a super fish for 10 pound line . Heck that's light line even for a bass now a days . God bless

This would be a really easy record to break up here on the Red River. Fish that size are caught regularly but I guess never registered properly. My longest channel was 40.5" with a few other high 30's. Also fly fish for them with my biggest being 36" on fly. Regardless that's a big fish especially for the south, and great video!

[phytobedo]

You guys are such a world class channel. These world record videos you put up are extraordinary!

[richshackelford]

congratulations to Sean. Nice fish I hope it gets certified for a record

The Manitoba length record is 118.11cm caught in the Red river.
