It was in the paper here a while back, maybe 121 lbs?
I think that the fish now resides with the Texas Parks & Wildlife in an aquarium. Wouldn't want to be a guppy in his tank....

The lake is on the TX/OK border, on the Red River.... maybe he was vacationing?

Eh, the article said he was fishing on the Texas side, so Texas it is!
After spending a few days down there, I've got to say that everything's big in Texas - especially the driving distances, the traffic jams and the shopping malls!
Matter of interest - my mom's birthplace ranch is now under water of Lake Texhoma, near Pottsboro, Tx. Maybe the catfish was taken from there!
