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.
The KS state record blue catfish was caught in the Kansas River, the state record flathead catfish came from Elk City Reservoir and the Kansas state record channel catfish was caught from Mined Land. There are many species of catfish and even more ways to catch them. Adults range in size from less than a pound to hundreds of pounds. Catfish are found in all types of water including ponds, streams, lakes and rivers throughout Kansas. There are even species which spend a limited amount of time on dry land.
