Oh yeah? Well I don't think it should count as a record unless you eat the whole thing by yourself!Hmmmm, very very nice fish, but I don't see anything in the article about the fish being released. I'm one of "those people". It shouldn't count as a record if you don't release it alive imo.

Blue catfish are considered both scavengers and predators. I caught a nice 12 lber two years ago using live bream for bait.I would have released that one the same as I released bull reds when I lived in LA where it was legal to keep 1 red over 27" per person. FL does not allow any red over 27" to be kept.
No telling how much mercury and what not was stored up in a 190 pound blue cat,
Now, if that was a flathead or as the LA folks call them an Opelousas cat, then that would be some fine eating.
Unlike other popular kinds of catfish, flatheads are predators, not scavengers. They hunt live meals instead of just following their whiskers to find dead stuff. That means live bait tends to work best and that it is best presented just off the bottom.
