Those who love to fish in some of the state’s urban ponds are in for a real treat right now as over 10,000 pounds of blue catfish have been stocked by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Mark Dyer with AGFC was on Sunrise Deltaplex with Rick Walker and talked about how this was made possible by an anonymous donor.

Pine Bluff’s MLK community fishing pond received a nice group of the big blue ‘cats, some could weigh as much as 30 pounds.
