This man caught record fish using Barbie rod

He will never hear the last of this from his fishing buddies!

David Hayes' granddaughter asked 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 fish was 32 inches long, 2 inches longer than the rod!
