I haven’t plagiarized posted a news story in a while. But when I saw the video below on YouTube yesterday, I had to dig up the accompanying story. Check out the details HERE.
If you ain’t into reading all that terrible local reporting in the link, here’s the deal…this lady caught a huge goldfish in a residential pond while trying to catch catfish (hence the basketball sized bobber). Somebody who lives nearby probably let it go, it chowed on radioactive sewage (or Arthur Bryant’s) for a few years, and turned into an extremely tame River Monster.
The way it’s hanging from the line like a mobile, she probably snagged it rather than hooked it clean, but I ain’t here to rain on anyone’s parade. Foul hooks happen. Seriously, congrats Olivia, that’s a damn big goldfish… Brownliners in Kansas City be warned.
WOOO… That is one huge goldfish haha
I once saw a similar fish it the wild. The water was muddy, but I could see it coming from a quarter mile away.Had I not been shocked into stupor, I would have had plenty of time to try and snag it.
Wow. That's all I can really say about that video. I mean, I guess I could say that I swear I'd run into her before at my local bass ponds. She's the chick that's always yellin' at me ” HEY, if you donn wonn that bass, I'll take it!” and then cursing me when I put it back. I'm sure that's her. I recognize the grunting.
Hold up – wait a minute. I know this pond. I sure as heck would never fish it, but more power to her. KC can bbq and apparently grow big goldfish.-stephanie
I wonder if that was dinner?
@Dustin's Fly BoxHOLLA!
@ClifI like that it matches her hat.
@Owl JonesShe's in Kansas City, but I bet she's got relatives in Georgia.
@Stephanie and DustinBIG goldfish.
@CofisherArticle said she put it back. Not sure if anyone could have swallowed that goldfish whole.
I think we now have a new sportfish. ha!
I've had nightmares about fish like that…
