David Hayes' granddaughter just ask him to hold her Barbie rod and reel while she went to the bathroom. 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 said 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. :smt044

A few years back someone on another fishing site tried to get a derby ( saltwater ) going using only kiddie poles , cool idea and lots of responces but nothing ever came of it ! Would be interesting , how about a Ling Derby with Barbie poles and 6 lb. line ?   :smt002


Think I'll start looking for a Snoopy pole , just in case !

Hahahahahaha, heard this on the radio last night!  How funny!!!

I think I heard somewhere that people do carp/catfish derby's on ice fishing rods too :)  Maybe have a mini-tourney someday like that on the yak.  But, I am gonna need a GI-Joe pole, since Barbie's are for girls!!!
