North Carolina man lands a state record-setting catfish catch using a toy Barbie Fishing Pole.

David Hayes was fishing with his granddaughter Alyssa when she asked him to hold her Barbie Fishing Pole ($10+) while she went to the bathroom. Then seconds later, he caught a state record-setting catfish catch weighing in at 21 pounds and 1 ounce. At 32 inches long, the fish was 2 inches longer than the fishing rod!

The pink Barbie Fishing Pole was a Christmas gift from Alyssa’s father. She had used it to catch a few bluegills earlier that day. But there wasn’t any indication that it might be a good luck charm before her grandfather made the record-setting catfish catch.

Wilkes County Has Certified The Record-Setting Catfish Catch

According to The Winston-Salem Journal, the record-setting catch was reported on August 5th. Wilkes County has certified the catch as an official record with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

The next time you are out fishing, look carefully at the gear people are using. You might catch someone using a Barbie ($10), My Little Pony ($10) or Dora The Explorer Fishing Pole ($15).
