http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...huge-112-pound-catfish-article-1.2895919There may be plenty of other fish in the sea, but not many this big.
Riahn Brewington nearly reeled in a state record after he hooked a 112-pound catfish from the Northeastern part of the Cape Fear River in North Carolina.
The Wilmington man told WWAY he knew he had something big on the line the moment he hooked the fish the day before Thanksgiving, but he even he couldn’t have known just how huge his catch would be.
The state record for catfish is 117 pounds, making Brewington’s catch only 5 pounds shy. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/12/02/18/3AF7866D00000578-3995136-image-a-31_1480703038584.jpg)
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

What do you do with a catfish that big? Fish fry or toss it back?
Fall seven times, stand up eight.

if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

He took pics and threw it back. Seems the last couple of years has produced several of these monster cats in NC.

Wonder if he caught it on the rod in the background with the bobber set up? Kudos for tossing it back in the river.

catfish that big could slurp down a grown goose!
