A North Carolina man reeled in a huge 112 pound catfish, which is just five pounds shy of breaking a state record.

Riahn Brewington caught the massive fish while fishing on his favorite spot on the Cape Fear River.

Brewington said that, he caught and released the catfish in the northeast part of the Cape Fear River the day before Thanksgiving.

The man said that, “In the water, it felt like it was pretty big.” “I thought it would have already snapped the line, but I didn’t realize how big he was until I actually got my hands underneath him.”

He took many pictures of himself with the fish, that was reportedly only five pounds shy of the North Carolina state record for catfish.
