Ive only seen one over 20lbs.....happened this year actually....from the northern half of ohio. I have seen quite a few 16s and 18s though. I have the pic of the channel but my buddy who caught it didnt post it anywhere. So there may be a reason for that. Might be trying to keep his spot top secret. Lol.

You will have to take my word on it I guess.

I just saw a topic on a catfish forum with a 25.5 lb just recently caught in Sandusky Bay? During a tournament none the less.

my personal best was 18.2 durring a tourney at Clear Fork Lake about 4 yeas ago. I got a pic somewhere but it didnt top the 20 lb mark.
Whodeynati, I think i know the fish your talking about but it wasnt at a tourney and the pics I saw were questionable at best if its the same fish.

I know Sandusky Bay has some real nice fish though so its not out of the question for up there.

17 lbs for me, but im not a channel fishermen. I just have to put up with them all the time.

I target big channels at mogadore in northeast ohio. I average 2 10#+ fish a night. The biggest one I have caught was just shy of 18 and that was two years ago. I am actually going out tonight, my goal is to break 20 this year.

Fishinghunt how long did that 18 pounder measure?

I know my 18.2 was right at 34" and was a healthy female, not a long fish

[Fishnhunt]

The 18 was right about 35".

I saw a pic of a channel that supposedly topped the scale at 30 lbs. It came out of Rocky Fork this year. It was massive in the pic.

 

[catmando]

I've caught 3 over 20 this year.

This guy is my PB channel, 35 inches long, 18.2 lbs. I've only seen one channel that for sure without a doubt was over 20 lbs, and it was a horse....

 

[Fishnhunt]

The first pic is my personal best at 17 pounds and around 34"
the second pic is my biggest this year at 15.5 and 32"
The third pic is my buddy's 15 pound fish. don't remember length
The last pic is my cousin with his 18 pounder, the fish was big all around at 36"

Nice pics guys. So where are the pics of the 20's at?

This is probably my PB (31.5), I still have a long ways to go to get to 20#

 

[Siskiefu]

Here's my best one, beam is 70"

No scale/measure, but easily beat out my 17lb'er in the bay.
