On September 24, 1804, Lewis and Clark's expedition stopped on the MIssouri River near present day Vermillion, South Dakota. According to journal entries, that night two of the men caught catfish that would approach world-record size. But our own Spencer Neuharth is skeptical of their haul, so we sent him to investigate this claim. Did the crew really catch 100-pound catfish? Or might it have been something else?
