Kan. couple catches record-breaking catfish


OLATHE, Kan. — An Olathe woman has set the unofficial record for the largest blue catfish caught in a Kansas lake. At 82-and-a-half pounds the fish is the size of most 10 year olds! But there’s still one person she has yet to beat — her husband who holds the record for the largest blue catfish caught in a Kansas River.
During the week you’ll find Stefanie Stanley behind the desk at Marvin’s Tow Service, but on the weekend she’s on the water.
“We fish! That’s what we do. We fish for fun, we fish tournaments,” she said.
It was in the Catfish Chasers Tournament this past weekend at Milford Reservoir Stefanie reeled in the more than 80 pound blue catfish.
“I was shaking, I couldn’t breathe. I was just nervous, but super excited,” she said. “I mean because my biggest fish before was 48 pounds.”
It is unofficially the largest blue catfish ever caught in a Kansas Lake. With her catch, her team won the tournament and $2,000.
