Description: A New Florida State Record for Blue Cat! James Mitchell of Caryville, Florida reeled in a massive 64.5 lb Blue Cat this week setting a new all time record in the state. The fish measured 53.5 inches long and three feet around its body. The fish was weighed under the watchful eyes of two Dept. of Natural Resources officers and a Marine Biologiest on certified scales. This breaks the long standing record set in 1980.
