David Hayes spent an afternoon bonding with his three-year-old Alyssa recently. He was throwing back some pops and she was throwing back some Sunny D’s. They shared many laughs and many crackers.

When they ran out of snacks, Alyssa suddenly had to go potty. At least that’s what she said. She was really inside getting more food, but never mind that. While she was gone, her Barbie poll began to shake. Hayes wipped the cracker crumbs from his lips and waddled to the pink poll.

After a battle, Hayes managed to pull in the channel catfish. At 21 pounds, one ounce, the man broke the North Carolina state record, but didn’t break the Barbie poll. At 32 inches long, the fish is two inches longer than the Barbie poll.

The family celebrated by eating a lot more crackers.
