A man from Ohio broke a pair of West Virginia records Wednesday when he reeled in a blue catfish weighing more than 67 pounds.
Steve Price broke the state’s records for both length and weight when he caught the huge fish, a release from the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources read.
The catfish was measured to be 50.7 inches long, and it weighed in at roughly 67.22 lbs.
