A Tennessee angler on Saturday landed a pending state-record blue catfish while enjoying ‘kind of a date’ with his wife.
The 118-pound, 7-ounce catfish was reeled from the Cumberland River by Micka Burkhart, who was fishing with his wife, Amy. The fish was weighed in front of witnesses, including a state biologist, and released. |

“The blue cat will be a new Tennessee record pending verification and certification,” The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency boasted Sunday on Facebook.
The current record, 112 pounds, was set in 1998, also on the Cumberland River. |
