Huge 70lb. Catfish-Biggest I’ve ever seen on the Catawba River

This day started off with a super slow bite and ended with a truly huge catfish. My good friend Dean Lawson has certainly caught his fair share of big blues over the years, but this behemoth 70 pounder broke his own personal best from years ago of 67 lbs. This was the biggest catfish I have ever seen taken out of the Catawba, at least below Lake Wylie Dam to Fishing Creek. I’m sure there have been bigger ones that I don’t know about, but this was definitely the biggest I’ve ever seen or heard of at the time that we filmed this video. Like always, we took pictures and video, then released this fish healthy and alive back into the Catawba River. Hopefully this fish will continue to thrive so all of us have the opportunity to catch it again when it's 90-100lbs!!!!
