Ken Paulie set not only a new state record but also a world record with his legendary 123-pound flathead catfish pulled out of Elk City Reservoir in May 1998. His catch remains the undisputed title-holder for the largest flathead catfish ever caught, earning him the all-tackle record recognized by outdoors organizations such as the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame and the International Game & Fish Association (IGFA).
 

Paulie’s record was met with controversy and the fish disappeared after it was caught for several years before biologists with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) caught a lucky break and were able to study it. 27 News caught up with the KDWP biologists who studied the fish in 2016, including the first man on the scene the day Paulie pulled his flathead from the water.
