While actually catching the fish was hard, actually getting it weighed on a certified scale by an official was almost as difficult.Rocky Baker spoke with FOX News about catching the fish, which is in the process of being certified as a new state record.
According to Baker, a state biologist certified the weight and measurements and the paperwork is in the mail.Baker caught the fish while out on a trip on the Roanoke River with his buddy, Justin Clifton.
According to Baker, if Clifton hadn’t been there, he never would’ve been able to get the record-breaking catfish into the boat.The fish took the bait just after 9:30 pm on Saturday.
