This is not my fish, boy I sure wish it was. This fella is a professional fishing guide in the on both, KY Lake and Lake Barkley. He caught this fish a couple of weeks ago. He didn't weigh it but he did measure it and then proceeded to turn it loose in his pond. It very well could've been a brand new Kentucky state record because the current record is 3lb2oz. This fish is in that ballpark, look at the girth of its tail. It looks to be the size of a person's wrist. Trophy fish on ANY water in the country right here.
