After that, I tried a few more cleaning with vinegar experiments. I made my own green version of scrubbing bubbles to clean some baked on crud under my stovetop. I sprinkled the crud with baking powder, then a bit of vinegar and let the foaming begin.
The second giant is Pylodictis olivaris, the flathead catfish. The current world record, as of 1998, is a 123 pound monster caught in Kansas. Commercial catfishing operations report flatheads nearly 5 feet long and weighing in at 140 pounds. This was my first surprise. Many sources report that the blue catfish is the largest catfish in North America.
This new West Virginia blue catfish record tipped the scales at nearly 60 pounds and was just under 45 inches long. According to the story, the old record, which still holds the length record of 47 inches, had a weight of 52 pounds. That fish was also caught out of the Ohio River.
