Splash, one of the previous World Record Blue Catfish.

In 2004, a record topping Blue Catfish weighing in at 121.5 pound was caught on Lake Texoma by Cody Mullennix. The fish was named Splash, and transported to the Texas fish hatchery in Athens Texas. The plan was to have her spawn, so that her genes would be put into a lot of fish for stocking. Unfortunately she died less than a year later. I cant remember exactly how she died, I think it was an improper changing of water in her enclosure. I was able to go see her before she died. These are some photographs I took.

And here is a video I took. Unfortunately, it was completely dark in the room and I was a complete novice to filming so the video is horrible.
