Fisher loses record after massive catfish eaten
Credit: Chris Braga via AP		 Uncertainty about the species of a massive catfish that was eaten before it could be vetted by authorities in August has led Connecticut to withdraw its awarding of a new state record.

Connecticut Fish and Wildlife wrote in a Facebook post on Monday that because it was not able to examine the actual fish, authorities cannot confirm it was a white catfish.

"Without the ability to examine the actual fish, identification is left to still images and videos, which have proven to be ambiguous and inconclusive to definitively identify the species of catfish in this case," state Fish and Wildlife wrote, adding that it is not disputing the weight of the catch that was made on Aug. 21.
 

Ben Tomkunas, 25, of Coventry, who caught the 9.66-kilogram fish, said he gave it to his grandfather the morning after he caught it and it was eaten.

"I can't believe that they think it's OK to do this to someone," Tomkunas told the Journal Inquirer. "It's such an embarrassment."
