Went out to Mendota slough today and caught a 12 lb blue cat on
chicken liver. Catfishing is poor in central Calif. Only caught one
fish but it was good just to get out in the sunshine a while.

All the time I lived out there I can't remember ever hearing of any Blue
Catfish being caught any where. Didn't know they were in the state.
However true White cats are every where and of course the state stocks
channels. I use to load up on them in the delta and one of the main
fisheries at Clear Lake is huge Channel cats.

According to the IGFA, the record 12 pound test line class blue cat was
caught in San Vicent Reservoir in California in 2000. It weighed 101
pounds.
