Fishing guide Jackie Kennedy reports he caught a 64.8-pound catfish on Christmas Day 2014.

"I caught the Cedar Creek Lake-record blue cat on Christmas Day," Kennedy said. "It weighed 64.8 pounds and was 49 inches long. It is the current lake record Blue Cat and the catch-and-release record also."

The catch is recorded on Texas Parks and Wildlife Department records," Kennedy said.

Kennedy first fished Cedar Creek Lake in about 1966 or 1967 after the lake was built in the mid-1960s, according to his website, jackiekennedyfishingguide.com. He fished for crappie.

He notes that he holds the title of Fresh Water Elite Angler from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. There currently are only 36 such anglers on file, he says.

The job of fishing guide is the "easiest job in the world and the hardest, all rolled into one," Kennedy said.

"I spend three to seven days a week on the water and try to pattern what the fish are going to do on any given day," Kennedy said. "I will do everything in my power to see that you have a great trip."
