I remember a post about a guy catching a huge catfish out of the city park lake in Mesquite. It may have weighed 60 lb. He had pics and it was definitely City Park Lake in Mesquite. Was it a hoax? The pic I saw was at City Park Lake. It was right by the bridge that crosses over on the north end. It certainly was not a hoax based on the looks the bystanders had on there faces. I know both parks very well and the pic I saw was City Park Lake. Reggie

I grew up fishing on that lake in the 70's.There's been atleast 2 big catfish at city lake. The 60lbs cat your talking about and another one back around 79-80.I used to catch a lot of catfish out of it.Back in around 80 they drained it and you would not believe the fish that come out of that lake.I always had fun fishing that lake.Alot of good memories.Good times

Also just a note.There's a little private pond not to far from city lake off of New Market in the neighborhood behind the white mansion called Charlie Tosh now if you can get yourself on it there is some great fishing in it.Used to have several friends live there and it was awesome plenty of bass and crappie.

Me and my son fish City Lake Park about once a week... No luck recently but here is his biggest catch out there.. 
PB - 35# Blue Catfish Alexx PB - 7 lbs. Blue Catfish As far as Paul is concerned, he is my Bro. Lay off him. All is good. I might be in, just to hang with Paul. Sounds like a party.

We tried to go there but there were no fishing signs so we left

I've went there before. Never seen a catch that big there i go there when i have limited time (just to get out of the house too ) .The state stocks decent size Channel Cats there weekly and have seen plenty of fish come out of there . i would not eat a fish from there but a lot do .I only wish the Game Warden would come by more often ,I have a feeling some people there feel like they do not need a license to fish

I'm curious to know how the angler is holding the fish in his left hand?
