Record Catfish Caught With Barbie Fishing Pole
ELKIN, N.C. — A North Carolina man caught a state-record-sized channel catfish with his granddaughter’s Barbie fishing pole.
David Hayes was fishing with his granddaughter, Alyssa, when she had to take a bathroom break in Wilkes County earlier this month.
Hayes held her pink Barbie fishing rod while the girl was gone and quickly snagged a 21-pound channel catfish.
The fish was longer than the pole!
