The fish weighed 59.8 lbs and was 43 3/4" long. A new Lake O' the Pines record for a Blue Catfish.

The previous record was 55.3 lbs. It was held by Dona's uncle Carl George and Billy Henigan.

She went to visit her Uncle Carl at the lake and told him that she is now able to wear a pull over shirt again. Her head got so big when she caught the fish they had to cut-off her t-shirt and she had to wear button-up shirts till the swelling went down.
