TangerineDream Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) [Once again the Calhoun catfish derby was a success albeit very hot and humid. I have alot of respect for the parents for putting in a great effort and surviving the heat all day. This year there were many more catfish than last. Numerous cats in the 10+ pound range. There were about 700 entries this year with some very big fish coming in. The winning channel catfish was almost 18 pounds and brought in by a girl. Largest carp was 28 pounds. We also had a winning sunfish hybrid @ almost 1 pound (.96) with a length of ten inches and a girth of 9 inches. The current record is 1.04 so it was a nice fish. ] attachment=2397:100_24642.jpg][ A very great day for all with some great prizes for the kids. Hats off to all the volunteers who make this event a success and without their help it would not exist. Hope more will come next year..
