Ronson "Catmando" Smothers lands 2 BIG BLUE CATFISH today!

The first one brought up raised eyebrows all around with this 32.6lb Blue Cat caught with fresh Mackeral near the Santiago Flats




With eyebrows already raised, this one popped the hats off those who were here to see...His 2nd was an even BIGGER BLUE CATFISH, weighing in at 47.8lbs! Both hefty Blues were successfully released right after the photos were taken to grow LARGER and fight another day!



CHECKOUT the size of this, its almost as big as Ronson, WTG!
