Marvin Griffin of Santa Rosa County recently broke the Florida state record for flathead catfish by reeling in a 69-pound monster.

Griffin says he caught the giant catfish using live bait on the Yellow River, which runs from Alabama and empties into Florida's Blackwater Bay.

“I wasn’t expecting to catch a state record when I started fishing that day with John Babb,” said Griffin in a statement. “But, it was the first and only fish we caught that day. I never would have been able to bring the fish into the boat without his help.”
