That'll take a lot of tartar sauce. I've heard some about this, the fish is currently at Cabela's in KC.

Would a fish that big taste any different then a normal size one.....I know this is probably a weird question....but I do not eat and will not eat fish...so from my view it is not too weird.

I'd imagine they'd taste the same Lamkin, i mean its the same meat, only a lot more! I'm a fan of channel cats myself. thats all I really fish for.

Im wondering what lb. test he was using.

I always heard you couldn't eat a fish like that. It would be too old and tough. Seems like it would be a shame to eat it anyway...

A guy at work who isn't a fisherman heard it on the radio, and came in saying someone caught a 100 pound Bluegill. We gave him such a hard time for that, pretty funny, he swore they said Bluegill.

Ha! 2lb blue gills put up a heck of a fight, i cant imagine a 100 lb one! he was prolly useing some braided line, i use 80lb braided line for Musky fishing at Cave Run lake in Kentucky. I'd imagine you could catch a cat that size with 80-100 lb test if you wear him out by loosening the drag and letting him swim around frantically for a while.
