Did Barbie load the cricket? - Here's a funny and weird news item that caught my eye. A three year old girl was fishing with her grandpop but had to step away to the restroom.
When she did Grandpop took over and a record setting catfish swallowed the cricket bait attached to the toy Barbie fishing rod.
Alyssa returned to find her grandad battling with the monster fish.
"She said, 'Papa, you're going to break my rod,' because it was bent double," said Mr Hayes.
After 25 minutes, the pink plastic toy prevailed and Mr Hayes landed the 21 lbs,1oz catfish on the 6 lbs test line.
The catfish was thirty-two inches long and two inches longer then the fishing rod!
Now that's a fishing story.
