Catfish Caught at Lee County Lake

Three types of catfish roam Lee County Lake waters. Channel catfish provide the bulk of the fishery. An occasional bullhead is caught. Lee County Lake also boasts a hybrid catfish, which is a cross between the channel and the blue catfish. Rumors are this hybrid will reach 70 pounds. Will you be the one to land it?
