[cool][#0000ff]Back when I was a younger feller...and before West Nile virus...I used to fish a lot more at night. Biggest cat I ever caught was 24#. Biggest I ever actually laid eyes on was about 2# heavier. But I heerd tell...from a friend of a friend whose third cousin useta know somebody that there is cats in Utah Lake that go over 50 pounds.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Thought I had the state record myself when I caught that 24 pounder. My fishin' buddy Bubba (who else) had a fishing scale that weighed up to 50 pounds. My big kitty took that needle right down near the bottom. But then Bubba admitted it "might" be just a tad off. His newborn little girl had weighed over 20 pounds on those scales...hung up by her little diaper on the ugly hook. T[/#0000ff][#0000ff]he day before that the hospital had weighed her at only 7 pounds. A set of certified scales the next morning confirmed that Bubbas scales were "suspect". I was so disappointed that I never again tried for the record.[/#0000ff]
