| UPDATE: An attempt to move a new state record 95-pound blue catfish caught by a 10-year-old fisherman near Natchez failed when the giant fish died after arriving at the Museum of Natural Science in Jackson. Museum officials said the catfish, caught March 16 by Dakota Hinson in the Mississippi River, lived less than 24 hours after its arrival. The fish, they said, was in poor shape after spending two nights in a shallow creek secured by a rope before being transferred. |
