The Nooz: Record fish caught on Barbie rod - Weird news - MSNBC.com

That's a true fisherman to land a big cat with a Barbie fishing pole.I think the only thing he can do to top that is break his own record with a Ronco pocket fisherman.

......or land a Great White Shark with the Barbie pole.

How many high end fishing stores will carry that pole now as a novelty?

Nice catch, but I am surprised that the state record was onlyl 18 lbs, heck it is now 21 lbs., I think the state record here is like 102 lbs. for a catfish.

OMG, that's a riot. I'm going to have to carry a Barbie pole in my boat as a fishing secret weapon.

That's probably for a blue cat. Channel cats don't get nearly as big as blues or flatheads.

Thad he's in Tn.

If you have never fished in TVA owned water you might be surprised just how big the fish are.I have seen bass with double gills in a couple of TVA lakes.

LOL, Scott.
Any of them have four eyes?

NO NO NO!!

Thad, you should have asked: "Did any of them wear spectacles, or require corrective lenses?"

Let's try to be nice to one another here.

Finally an infraction that I actually deserved.
My apologies to all mutant fish everywhere.
