Bradly Courtright, an angler in Oklahoma, recently caught a 95-pound catfish at Pine Creek Reservoir, according to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

A 95-pound catfish became a gigantic feast after an Oklahoma fisherman recently reeled it in. Bradly Courtright caught the massive catfish while fishing in southeastern Oklahoma, according to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation .
