“Although a fish of this size is something anglers often only see in their dreams, Terry and his fishing buddies are no strangers to them,” Kentucky Afield said. “On March 15 the past four years in a row, they have put a fish over 80 (pounds) in the boat.”

The two men, both from Louisville, released the fish into the river after they weighed it. They did not reveal the location where they caught it.

“Welcome to the 90-pound club,” the Catfish NOW publication said.
