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.

Also, we have some bell peppers growing on our little plants. So cute. Although I found my husband talking to them when he thought noone was looking. He was telling it how cute it was and how much he was going to enjoy eating it. Such a weirdo.

  • I went to work at 9. I got up around 730. Well, no thats not true. I woke up at 730 and got up around 8. I blogged until 830, took a quick shower and was off to work.
  • Came home at 330. Blogged some more. I think I may be addicted. I ate around 4, and blogged.
  • Watched a little Harry Potter. It was on tonight on HBO, I think.
  • I cut my dogs hair. I have a Havanese dog. She is a little fru-fru dog. She refuses to potty train, so we keep her outside. She likes being outside, as there is alot of dirt for her to roll in. Did I mention she is white? She gets knots in her hair soooo bad. She wont let me shave it, cuz shes a spaz and doesnt like the noise the clippers make. So I had to do the whole thing with scissors. She did pretty well. I took her in the front yard and cut it there on the lawn.  She only tried to crawl away a few times. Before hair cut. She was a MESS. But cute as a button.
  • Ate dinner. While I was cutting her hair, my husband cooked dinner. We had frito salad. Delicious!
  • I watched a movie. License to Wed staring Robin Williams and Mandy Moore. Pretty cute movie. Total chick flick.
  • Cleaned up. Mostly I told my kids to pick up thier stuff. I paid little M 20 cents to pick up. He got excited, even tho it was paid in pennies. (Im not always cheap. Thats just all I had on me. He got $1.01 earlier for finding daddies watch.)
  • I’m now blogging again. I think I may have to go to BA meetings.
