I have never had a tear in my eye from a man landing a fish in his net. But I did today. Awesome Micka. I am spreading the word towards Santee Cooper about this fine catch.
Found you by seeing your rod here in Wheelersburg Ohio at a bait shop called AJs mercantile. Pretty cool the fish your catching. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats micka that’s a stud man my biggest is a 65 to 70 lb blue it was 48-1/2 inches long but I caught it out of a little pond in Kentucky it was in crescent springs news it was pretty cool what did you catch that on micka that’s definitely a true living dinosaur bro
Sure was glad to be able to see that brother, no trolls can say anything about catch and release. All the men there, my hats off to them all for the care and help. I was hurting with you working on getting him in the net and on the boat. Got my wife to come over to my computer to watch you land it on the boat. I was feeling for you as my wife said, " he is about your size", but I'm 73 and would not try and land that size boy by myself. I'm in the TX Panhandle and I take my hat off to you for the TN. State Record. It was AMAZING!!!!!
Great job brother! I am very happy for you and coming from a 60 year old Capt on the Mississippi River and from Louisiana swamps I am also very impressed by the fact that you did it alone 👍
What a stud. Incredible how well you handled yourself and everyone else involved in the weighing/measuring. So glad to see it swim off so fast. Goes to show how well you guys treated it and how healthy the fish was. Congratulations, this is my first time seeing your channel, but the comments are saying it couldn't have happened to a better guy.
you are a great guy thank you for sharing all your tips and this is one of the best videos ive ever seen it was like we were with you god bless you and your family
Wow man that's insane! It takes a good fisherman to hook that big of a fish, but it takes a legend to fight that f'er to the boat and net it himself! My lord 💪😂
I certainly hope it survived after that much stress. Hopefully it will add to the gene pool for a few more years. What a specimen. I wonder how old it was.
You will be talked about for many many many years and you will be remembered as a freakin legend, awesome guy, and glad the fish was totally healthy😎🤙🏼
"I got the SOB" excellent job man awesome catch. Can't say I would've done or said anything different. That's awesome. I've been after a big one this year but 2 months strait of nothing I thought about breaking my rods this morning I'm so fed up with it. But this inspires me to continue on my journey.
Thank you. Yeah I apologize for the language but was pretty excited 😆. Just got to keep putting in work. It will definitely pay off in the long run. You will get that big one.
I'll fight all day! I was dying at that point. When you finally whooped out, "I got the SOB! The mix of relief and the elation of netting that catch came through clearly. Great catch!
Thank you for returning the fish back to its environment, ideally, it would've to the place where he it was caught, but at least you made the effort, I hope it survives the stress it went through , good video, thanks for sharing
Awesome! I read the story saying you did this last year and it could be the same fish. The green coloration on the belly below the pectoral fin sure does look the same as the photos of the one from last year.
Phenomenal execution. It's good to see the urgency and the amount of respect you have for that fish. 10/10 might be switching to those custom yellow and purple sig MadKat rods lol 😆
This is so amazing my friend, love that you had that right size net with you 1000%. Hope to catch one half that one-day brother. Getting me both your rods 😎🤙
Congratulations, doing that on your own with no help is actually pretty damn amazing. I dont know what the hell i would do in that situation. Great job
Like I said on FB, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer or more humble person!!! I felt every emotion while watching this!!!! Incredible performance!!
Thank you again

You are Living My Dream ... We do not have Catfish that Big in New Jersey ... Congrats on that Beautiful Catch & Release ...
Thank you. I really do appreciate that.
Wow man that's insane! It takes a good fisherman to hook that big of a fish, but it takes a legend to fight that f'er to the boat and net it himself! My lord 💪😂
thank you
The healthy release is EVERYTHING. It should be a requirement for all state and world records.
Thank you and yes I agree 100%.
I certainly hope it survived after that much stress. Hopefully it will add to the gene pool for a few more years. What a specimen. I wonder how old it was.
@@TB-zw7dtcatfish always survive
No. , you should mind your own business and let him or her do what they want with their trophy. Have to be an ignorant leftist.
It takes a hell of a lot to kill a catfish way more than catching one.
Congratulations from Texas!! Amazing job doing that all alone my friend, mad props to you🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lol I wish I wasn't but it is what it is 😆. Thank you
I love how eager you were to get him back in the water. You deserved that fish for sure dude. Great job.
Thank you.
CONGRATULATIONS! Fantastic catch, you’re hard work pays off!!
