So with our catfish bite starting up early (still trout season), local Catfisherman/Current Record Holder for Irvine Lake (89+) came in this morning and we chatted a few at the gate. Later the same morning he came up and said "I've got 2 big ones!..." Well that being said, here was the first of 2 big BLUE CATS weighing in over 30lbs!
The first one brought up raised eyebrows all around with this 32.6lb Blue Cat caught with fresh Mackeral near the Santiago Flats
The 2nd was an even BIGGER BLUE CATFISH, weighing in at 47.8lbs! Both hefty Blues were successfully released right after the photos were taken!
CHECKOUT the size of this, its almost as big as Ronson, WTG!
