North Carolina Wildlife Commission has announced that John Davinson of Clayton has set the state record for channel cat at 16lbs. John caught this cat in the Roanoke River last month.

Davinson, of Clayton, caught his record-breaker on April 19, using a Shimano rod and reel combo and a golden shiner minnow. The fish measured 32½” in length and 19½” in girth.
The fish was weighed on certified scales at Atlas Fish Market in Roanoke Rapids and was verified as a new state record by Kirk Rundle, a fishery biologist with the Commission.

Congratulations John on a fine catch. If your interested in getting your name in the record book or seeing who has a particular record you can go here to get more information.
