CONROE, Texas – A fisherman reeled in a monster catfish in Lake Conroe on Monday.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife College Station-Houston District posted a photo of a 60-plus pound catfish a fisherman caught north of FM 1097 on its Facebook page Monday.
Officials said they didn’t have a scale with them, but the blue catfish easily weighed at least 60 pounds. Lake Conroe “has a very excelling catfish population,” officials said.
The fish was released back into the lake after it was caught.
