a friend of a friend caught this beast today or yesterday in a tributary of the Potomac.

From what I've heard it should be a new world record. Pretty impressive considering they are native to Asia and have only been here for about a decade.

Of course, he has a typical bass picture hold so it's hard to tell how big he really is. Any idea on the numbers?

Impressive!

I wouldn't want to hold that thing close to me either! It was probably VERY strong, it's got teeth, and it is a slime machine!

No numbers as of yet. Even with the positioning, that thing is WAY bigger than any I've seen or heard of.

John Odenkirk needs to know about this......

Dominion Dan · May-06-10 7:43PM

I'll make sure to tell my friend to tell his friend to make sure John knows about it.

that fish is a beast!

animal planet's river monsters episode stated one species can grow up to 4' and 40lbs and that species is in the U.S.

they are fun!

Chris- Did ya eat it?

chris bee · Jun-04-10 11:11AM

No I don't eat any fish. I did give it to a friend though who was very thankful for it.

Many of my friends eat them and describe them as actually being a super tender white meat. They say walleye is great until you've had one of these.

Ernie · Jun-04-10 11:15AM

I have not had one yet but that is what I hear.

An 11 pounder is one of the bigger fish caught and recorded!

chris bee · Jun-04-10 11:16AM

I've got a few friends that are tracking some in the 15+ pound range right now.

According to some of the scientists studying them on the potomac, they expect them to reach 25+.

Dominion Dan · Jul-05-10 3:01PM

I believe I was told 18lbs 6 oz.
