Virginia game officials have certified a 143-pound blue catfish caught over the weekend from the Kerr Reservoir as a state record.

The state Department of Game and Inland Fisheries' State Record Fish Committee announced the feat Wednesday.

Nick Anderson of Greenville, N.C., caught the catfish measuring 57 inches long Saturday along the Virginia-North Carolina border.

The fish eclipsed the state record blue cat of 109 pounds caught in March on Buggs Island Lake near the confluence of the Dan and Roanoke rivers.

The International Game Fish Association will determine whether Anderson's catch is a world record. The current world record of 130 pounds was set last year in Missouri.
