Ed Jones, an Oregon resident, said he’ll never forget the day he caught the Maryland state record blue catfish. It was also the day he lost his phone.
“I can remember it vividly,” Jones said in March while recounting the fateful August 2012 catch. “I hooked him, was reeling him in, and as soon as we got him near the boat, I had my cellphone in my shirt pocket, leaned over the boat, and plunk. It fell right into the river. I had all these pictures (on the phone) and I lost them in the river.”
