This policeman's 113-pound flathead just shattered a state catfish record.
Patrol Sgt. Joseph Driggers was fishing a 40-foot-deep back eddy on South Carolina's Pee Dee River when a giant flathead ate his Santee rig.
After a 15-minute fight, Driggers landed the fish and South Carolina DNR biologists certified its weight at 113.7 pounds.
The catch shattered the previous South Carolina flathead record of 84.6 pounds by nearly 30 pounds and is now the largest flathead catfish ever recorded in the state.
