's ribs probably broke from being held like that.

Yep, `General Sherman'.  They say he's five hundred pounds of bottom-dwelling fury, don't you know.  No one knows how old he is, but if you ask me (and most people do), he's hundred years if he's a day. Only one fella came close to catching him. Went by the name of Homer. Seven feet tall he was, with arms like tree trunks.  His eyes were like steel, cold, hard. Had a shock of hair, red like the fires of Hell

I remember that episode, but that screencapture just looks so... dirty... now.

He must be a pretty good fisherman if he managed to reel that thing in on mere 30 lbs line (or so I persume)...... Hell, it must have been one heck of a fight.

I don't like anything over 3 personally.  They start tasting like oil and mud then.

Oh well...they've taken the world record from us.  (I live on Lake Texoma.)  But not for long!  *Goes and gets pole and a dredge net*  Actually, I knew the guy that caught the previous record, and he caught it on like 6 pound test or something around that because he was fishing for something else.  Crappie I think.
