Fish story: 9-year-old boy makes the catch of a lifetime Most people who love fishing have a story about the one that got away. A fish so massive they had no chance of reeling it in. But the Price family of Tennessee has never experienced this kind of loss, with three members of their family catching monster-sized catfish and sturgeons during their time at Old Hickory Lake. But Coye Price, the only son in the family, managed to catch something truly incredible: An 80-pound sturgeon from the depths of the water.
