80 lbs Blue Catfish Oologah Lake Larry Cobb

An Oklahoma man reeled in a huge blue catfish in Oklahoma last week.

News On 6's Tess Maune spoke with Larry Cobb, from Bartlesville, who caught the 80-pounder on Oologah Lake last week. Larry said it took 2 to 3 minutes to reel in and two people to get it in the boat. Cobb said that they took a few pictures with the fish and weighed it before putting it back in the water.

The state record for blue catfish was set in 2004 when B.J. Nabors of Madill caught a 98 lbs. monster on Lake Texoma.
