This happened in Michigan, and he “caught” it bowfishing.

Shame he couldn't let go. Eater size is around 10# or under for me.

I've seen cats of that stature come out of Bluff City Quarry. R.I.P. Bluff City

I'd point you to pics of those big cats on Menoutdoors.com but the website is now defunct. R.I.P. Menoutdoors.

1/2 in Elgin. 1/2 in Bartlett.

Here's a pic of a LM from there.

Nice I used to be able too fish the gravel pit off 31 in Algonquin. Years ago caught some real big Bass northern pike and lots of Big catfish there.

Confirmed with Michigan DNR that there are no separate categories in their state records for fish caught with a hook and line or by bowfishing. They make no distinction.

Absolutely beyond stupid. 🤦‍♂️
