Type IGFA (International Game Fish Association) into your browser. I believe they are the record-keeping body for freshwater fish from North America. How long was the fight and what were you fishing with and for?

Answer 5

check your state's fishing site pa has a line class record site for each fish

Answer 6

Flathead catfish have got to be the ugliest of the cats. They are native to the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio basins and as far east as Lake Erie and Florida. Its long, wide head gives it the name. Flatheads have become problems in some rivers in Georgia, eating native bream species almost to the point of eliminating the population. The largest flathead landed on rod and reel is a 91 lb. 4 oz. (41.39 kg) monster caught in Texas, USA on March 28, 1982.

For ultra specific world line class records for a specific fish, you actually need to get a membership to the IGFA. I have a membership and will let you know that the World Line Class Record 6 lb test for Flathead Catfish is a 33 pounder. You can go to their website www.igfa.org for more info.
