A Missouri River fishing trip turned into the catch of a lifetime when angler Brad Hilton hauled two giant catfish into his boat during a solo outing over Independence Day weekend. By the time the battle ended, his boat carried nearly 180 extra pounds of fish, including the elusive 100-pound trophy he had chased for years.
Hilton, who runs the Big River Pursuits fishing brand and documents trophy catfish adventures on social media and YouTube, shared the milestone in a Facebook post after fishing the Missouri River in Missouri. “Well, the day I’ve been waiting for finally came on America’s birthday weekend! The hundo hunt is over!” Hilton wrote.
