Man Makes Record Catch With Barbie Fishing RodThursday, August 21, 2008  He did. And seconds later he landed the state record channel catfish at 21 pounds, 1 ounce. Alyssa's father had bought the pink Barbie fishing rod for Christmas and she had caught a few bluegill before her grandfather hauled in the catfish. The Winston-Salem Journal reported the catch Aug. 5 in eastern Wilkes County has been certified as a record by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. Hayes and his granddaughter have been fishing in the pond behind his house since she was big enough to hold a pole. Hayes says his granddaughter worried he would break her rod. He landed the 21-pound fish on a 6-pound test line. It was 32 inches long, 2 inches longer than the rod.

Thats crazy. My dad told me a story about something I did when I was a kid. He bought me a snoopy pole and took me trout fishing in Blackwater bay under the interstate. He said I was casting and casting and couldn't quite get it right with that pole. So he told me that I through it in the water and said, "I want a real pole". He still laughs at it to this day. I guess i was doomed to be a fisherman
