He did. And seconds later he landed the state record channel catfish at 21 pounds, 1 ounce.
Alyssa's father had bought the pink Barbie fishing rod for Christmas and she had caught a few bluegill before her grandfather hauled in the catfish.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported the catch Aug. 5 in eastern Wilkes County has been certified as a record by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.
Hayes and his granddaughter have been fishing in the pond behind his house since she was big enough to hold a pole.
Hayes says his granddaughter worried he would break her rod. He landed the 21-pound fish on a 6-pound test line. It was 32 inches long, 2 inches longer than the rod.

Haha, my wife sent this to me earlier this morning. I swear the line on those reels is about a 50lb test!

Do you think a spider-man one will work?? I don't have any girls, just a little boy, and he has the spider-man one... might have to give it a shot!:eek::D

I believe it Bob. My wife caught her channel cat on 8 lb test line with a $12 made for Walmart special, so it's not a stretch to see catching that 21 pounder on 6 lb test and a Barbie outfit. guess I need to get some Barbie fishing outfits for our granddaughters.

Ibet they both had a so much fun getting that one in... what a treat!!!
