Fisherman Finds Sex Toy in Catfish’s Stomach | MeatEater Fishing

Kesar took a buddy catfishing on the Ohio River last weekend with the goal of helping him catch his first ever blue cat. The trip was a success as the men boated a 3-pound channel, 4-pound blue, and 20-pound blue using shrimp for bait. Kesar immediately noticed something was off with the catch-of-the-day, though. It had a bulging stomach that was unusually swollen, even for the most gluttonous of catfish.

“When I saw it had a huge gut, I figured it was eggs,” Kesar told MeatEater. “But when I felt that hard lump, I knew that wasn’t the case. I’ve found turtles, muskrats, and all kinds of stuff in catfish before. I just assumed it would be something like that instead.”
