You might check out lake Sam Rayburn. These were photographed May 27th. and were taken by bows. They measured 7'8", 8'3", and 6'8" supposedly. Pretty impressive. Should make your 100 pound mark I would think. I saw this posted on Facebook
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Shoot a big 10 point buck, or one of these big fish.............hands down, I'd rather catch one of them the size of these.....rod/reel or arrow.

Reintroduced to Allegheny River years back. Not sure the species. Biggest I've caught was around three feet. Bass pro guys are just thrilled. I think they are hideous lol.

Not in Texas ... we went from no limit to one a day ... dang gar everywhere now ... they need to be killed out a lot .... gear wrecking catfish killing pieces of crap lol
.. next time I run lines I’ll try to remember to take some pics of what they do to 6 lb catfish ... they just leave a head with a shredded mess behind it on the hook. Losing quite a few to them last couple years
Insert profound nonsense here
