It was in the Catfish Chasers Tournament this past weekend at Milford Reservoir Stefanie reeled in the more than 80 pound blue catfish.

“I was shaking, I couldn’t breathe. I was just nervous, but super excited,” she said. “I mean because my biggest fish before was 48 pounds.”

It is unofficially the largest blue catfish ever caught in a Kansas Lake. With her catch, her team won the tournament and $2,000.

“It’s kind of like giving birth, that feeling you’re just shaking, you’re in awe. It’s an amazing feeling!” she said.
