 ELKIN, N.C. - David Hayes' granddaughter just ask him to hold her Barbie rod and reel while she went to the bathroom. He did. And seconds later he landed the state record channel catfish at 21 pounds, 1 ounce.

Alyssa's father had bought the pink Barbie fishing rod for Christmas and she had caught a few bluegill before her grandfather hauled in the catfish.

The Winston-Salem Journal reported the catch Aug. 5 in eastern Wilkes County has been certified as a record by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

Hayes and his granddaughter have been fishing in the pond behind his house since she was big enough to hold a pole.

Hayes said his granddaughter worried he would break her rod. He landed the 21-pound fish on a 6-pound test line. It was 32 inches long, 2 inches longer than the rod, and 30 inches longer than his cock.  We asked Hayes for a quote, but we don't understand country jibberish.

I like how he looks like he's crying, like catching that fish was the greatest fucking thing that ever happened

To me it looks like last night's burrito con queso is about to erupt like Mt. Vesuvius from his ass flaps and he's clenching tighter than he's ever clenched in his life...for the sake of his butterball turk....I mean, for the sake of his granddaughter.
