Samantha Coombs, 15, of Jamesville, hoists a big channel catfish she caught over the Labor Day weekend on a private pond in Cicero.

"My daughter is 5 foot, 7 inches so you can see it is pretty big," said Jeff Coombs, her father.

She caught the fish on a worm, the father said. He said the length of the fish was not measured, but it was placed on his 15-pound, fish scale and it stretched the scale "to the max.

"It was a monster," he said, adding it was released back into the water afterward.
