Theres two different Cats. The brothers weighed 45 lbs. , sisters was between 40-45 lbs. They were caught at a local lake. I live on the Arkansas River , used to snag them below our Lock & Dam. Used treble hooks , rubber bands for skirts ( making them artificial lures) ….spark plugs for weights. Used a Garcia Deep-Sea Reel. The Corp of Engineers shut that down , reckon people were having to much fun. Largest I caught was around 40 lbs.
A hummingbird built a nest on the porch at a friend's house. After they hatched a flew off the remnants of an egg was still there
One road trip, I made a stop for gas and food. While gassing up I saw a woman wandering around a car with a blue mask on. Finished putting the gas in, look up, and now she has a stainless steel pot on her head. I was totally dumbfounded...
We used to use builder's twine and 1/0 hooks baited with mullet. Tie to a tree limb so it dips a couple inches under the surface. Around sunset we would drift down river tying them as we went, motor back upstream and start checking. Continue until sunrise. Never weighed, but caught quite a few longer than my leg. Have to stay moving or the snappers tear them up.
We call that “setting bush hooks”
Snagging was fun , with the strong currents of the River , you felt like you caught something reeling in after a cast regardless ! A state record ( at the time ) alligator gar was snagged below the Dam. Think it was 215 lbs.
One day in the late 1960’s we were below a bridge over the Arkansas and saw a large gar trapped in a pool feeding on Shad. Went and got a Colt Woodsman and a garden hoe. Shot it way to many times , then beat on its head until it perished
Took 4 of us to get it out and in a truck. Weighed 186 lbs , little over 6 ft long. Didn’t know wtf to do with it so we dumped it. Went back a hour later and two Black dudes were loading it up. 
I was kayaking on the Neuse in Smithfield area and looked to my left a 4’ gar was swimming right next to me in my shade. They are living fossils.

Yeah that’s what they say. They said that about shallow water too. I don’t see seals in the water when a large shark or killer whale is around even if it’s heavy kelp or shallow water. They run like hell. I can see how very thick kelp would deter even divers but many forests are quite open and easily navigable.
Back in the day when waste and litter weren’t bad for us , once a Navy ship was like 12 miles offshore, the Fantail was open , meaning ANY & EVERYTHING could be tossed off in the ocean. I remember off the coast of California W of Catalina Island , the mess cooks were throwing old/freezer burned meat Into the water. Wasn’t long before the plane guard Helo noticed it was working as chum.
Heard them clearing their guns , heard It was a mess.

Welp, I am getting my laser eye surgery on Friday.
I want to be able to clearly see the zombiecalicommies when they make the terminal mistake of coming toward this mountain.

That truck is named the “gold standard”. Was in the final 8 for 2017 Ridler Award. My brother helped tune on it while it was being built.
Any idea what kind of fish those are? Looks like a lot of fun could be had with a fly rod.
Is it me or could he not have just rode through the opening to his left. Sure seems like enough room to just ride on by...
