Winners of the two day tournament (Riverbend Catfish Tourney) on the Mississippi (near Alton) was 10 fish limit that weighed 330lbs. Big fish was 105lbs caught by the same team. All caught on skipjack. How would you like to hold that fish up for pictures?
The "biggin" was 56 inches long. 2nd largest fish ever caught in a tournament.
What a fishery right here in the Midwest!
