Burr Edde III breaks 50-year Missouri record for blue catfish caught using alternative method.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Burr Edde III of Malta Bend became Missouri's most recent record-breaking angler when he landed a giant blue catfish on a stretch of the Missouri River in Saline County using a trotline. The new "alternative method" record blue catfish caught by Edde on March 21 weighed 120 pounds, 8 ounces, with a length of 55 and 1/8 inches and a girth of 45 inches. Edde used cut Asian carp as bait.
The new giant broke the previous alternative-method state-record blue catfish of 117 pounds caught more than 50 years ago on the Osage River in 1964.
