Largest blue catfish: Nick Anderson set world record (Video) GREENVILLE, NC, USA--Nick Anderson, 29, worked 45 minutes to snag a 143-pound blue catfish in Buggs Island Lake (officially the John H. Kerr Reservoir), just over the Virginia line from North Carolina - setting the new world record for the Largest blue catfish.
I was struck early on with the impressive size that catfish could attain and the great hold that this had on some men. When I was 10, in 1959, Ed Elliot caught the record blue catfish of 97 pounds from the Missouri River near Yankton, South Dakota, not far from where I lived in a small town in northwest Iowa. My parents took me to see the fish, which was on display in a chest freezer in a store in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
