Rising Stars and Fish Tales

Kaleb Walker - Calico Rock, Arkansas

While fishing in a local pond with his pappaw, Kaleb Walker of Calico Rock, Arkansas, hauled in this huge catfish. He was using liver for bait and needed very little help landing the fish. Kaleb's favorite part of fishing is "catching the big ones". Kaleb said the fish weighed 9lbs and was big enough to feed 10 people. Kaleb is on his way to becoming a true fisherman with tales like that. Kaleb also likes to go trout fishing on the White River. Kaleb is the 6 yr. old cousin of WBT angler Lesa Brown of Harrison, Arkansas.
