David Hayes was fishing with his granddaughter in a pond behind his house when she asked him to hold her Barbie fishing rod while she went to the bathroom.
The rest is North Carolina sports history.
Hayes took the fishing rod and seconds later the toy hooked a state-record channel catfish, at 21 pounds, 1 ounce.
"I was pretty sure I was going to lose it," he said told The Winston-Salem Journal. "I was hoping I would hang on to it long enough for Alyssa to see it. When she did, she squealed so much it took off on its last run."
The catfish gave up after about a half hour, allowing Hayes to scoop the fish into a net, the newspaper reported.
Alyssa's father had bought the pink Barbie fishing rod for Christmas. On this early August day, she had caught a few fish before she went to the bathroom, but nothing like the catfish, Hayes said. CLICK HERE for the story and pictures!
This was my biggest fear when I went to the beach as a kid!! It looks like my fears have been confirmed!!
