NC State Record Channel Catfish Up for Grabs!
 
So, does this mean if I catch a 10 lb channel cat it will be 50% ?

Channel Catfish State Record Is Up for Grabs
Pete Paine's 1971 state record channel catfish was vacated by the Wildlife Commission recently. The fish Paine is holding is a flathead catfish.

Ellerbe angler, Chris Darnell, 12, shows off a nice-sized channel catfish caught from a pond at McKinney Lake State Fish Hatchery during a fish for fun event last summer.

RALEIGH, N.C. (May 20, 2005) — If you’ve ever dreamed of reeling in a state record fish, it’s time to quit dreaming and start fishing. Now that the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission has vacated the long-held channel catfish state record, the new state record is up for grabs — with a catch: this fish must weigh at least 20 pounds.

The old state record, held by Maryville, TN., angler Pete Paine since 1971, was decertified when a photograph in the May issue of Wildlife in North Carolina revealed that the fish Paine caught from Fontana Lake was actually a flathead catfish, a species which grows much larger than the channel cat.

Not only is he pissed but he's blind too! The fish in the pic is certainly a flathead and doesn't even begin to favor a channel! See - he even has his eye glasses in his pocket and not on his face, like he should!

I've never seen a brown channel with a flat head - have you?
