Catfish

A man fishing near Washington, Missouri just landed a more than 86 pound blue catfish and then let it go.

I've heard stories about catfish this big in the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, but have never caught even one myself. One Missouri man just landed 3 of them and these mammoth catfish are nearly as big as he is.

I spent many a weekend in Missouri fishing with my dad. We were very fortunate to catch a ton of bass and catfish, but apparently I was missing out on a key trick when it comes to landing humongous catfish like a pro - cooking spray.

If you're looking for a place to stay, you want to hear the word "hospitable". If that's high on your list, there's a place near Wright City that was just named the most hospitable in all of Missouri.

Have you ever been fishing with a bow? It's quite a different experience from a rod and reel to say the least. One Missouri man used his bow and may have just shot himself not only a state record, but maybe even a world record fish.

If you love catfish, deer and butterflies, you need to see a tiny Illinois Airbnb next to a gorgeous lake that has all of that and much more.

We've been known to tell some true whoppers when it comes to fish stories involving the Mississippi River. One of the greatest of them all is the tale of the monster catfish that was so large it spit out a diver. Let's explore this legend and see how much truth lies down there.

Watch as a guy pulls a monster of a catfish out of the Missouri River just outside of the St. Louis area, I had no idea monsters like this existed in that part of the river!

I have always heard that there were monster catfish lurking in the Mississippi River, but never had the joy of landing one. I was able to find several videos proving the local legend is indeed true.
