7 1/2 lbs, 24 inches - Honest!

Decided to give Willard a shot today for some catfish fillets to replace the ones we are having for supper tonight (Tube Dudes Catfish Ramaki). Little did I know that I would latch on to the biggest cat I’ve ever pulled out of Willard. This puppy was 24 inches long and weighed 7 ½ pounds.

Here is a picture of it next to the tape measure.

Here is a happy camper. *()*

This is how it compares to normal, every day cats out of Willard. :shock:

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Good grief, the head probably weighed 2 pounds alone!

That's meaty.

Look at the shoulders on that cat, wow.
So I'm in my late 50s. Life's not the party I hoped for...but hell, while I'm here I might as well dance.

Nice cat Bob! Was that lunker dragging your boat in circles?

I automatically assumed this fish was going to be a trout - and at 24 inches and 7.5 pounds I figured it was going to be a square trout :wink: .
I started tying flies a couple of years ago - I've never looked at roadkill the same.
