For anyone who uses ESPN.com’s fantasy section for football, basketball, college, and so on should have heard of the ‘Streak For The Cash’ mini game ESPN has. A quick description of this game is each day you pick a sports match-up, either who will win, which running back will have more yards, point margin, and things along those lines. The ultimate goal is to get a “Streak” of 25 wins by December 31st. You can pick a few games per day, but only one at a time. Whoever can do this gets $1 Million from ESPN. 2nd best streak gets $10,000 and so on. Well, the magic number of 25 in a row has been touched by ‘Bigsam1122′ and he has won himself the money. His real name is Samuel Louis-Charles from Bristol, Conn. ESPN.com/fantasy has a photo of him with one of those oversized checks made out to him. Congrats to Samuel for winning. Now 2nd place is still up for grabs and I just checked and its at 19 and 18 for the following players. Also each month the person with the most wins within that month gets a nice cash prize. If you haven’t checked ESPN.con/fantasy out, go do so and maybe next year sign up for Streak For The Cash. Again congratulations to Bigsam1122 for getting 25, well it says 26 currently and getting that money.

David Hayes’ from North Carolina has caught a record fish. He did this with his granddaughter’s Barbie fishing rod. His granddaughter asked him to hold her rod and reel, while see just went to tha bathroom. Of course he did and while doing so caught tha state’s record channel catfish. I personally live on a lake and know for a fact that is one huge catfish. I believe tha biggest catfish I have ever caught was around 19-22 pounds. With tha right bait they aren’t that hard to get ahold of.

This catfish weighed in at 21 pounds and 1 ounce. This catch was reported on August 5th in the Winston-Salem Journal in eastern Wilkes County. Tha catch has been certified as a record by the North Caroline Wildlife Resources Commission. I wonder if he will or has gotten anything for this record?

David Hayes has been fishing with his granddaughter in tha pond located behind his home since she was just big enough to hold a fishing pole. While reeling in, Hayes said that his granddaughter was worried about her pole breaking because of tha size of tha fish. Image seeing that little pole bend as your reeling and wondering whats on tha other end.

Tha fish was caught on a 6 pound test line and was 32 inches long which is 2 inches longer than tha Barbie Rod. What a great catch!!
