KENTUCKY STATE RECORD WHITE CATFISH

A white catfish caught by Ethen Vest this month at Guist Creek Lake is the new state record. The 10-year-old from Frankfort was fishing for channel catfish from a boat with his grandfather and brother when the white catfish tugged on his line. Vest caught his record fish on cut bait and it weighed 5.27 pounds. The old state record of 3.70 pounds had stood since 2007 and also came out of Guist Creek Lake.
