I came across these pics from years ago. It’s a Channel Cat that I landed from Shady Lakes - little Bass ponds located in Albuquerque, NM.  Caught this beast using trout guts. Any guess to it’s weight? Never measured it. I’m guessing 12-14 lbs. 

 

 

13.1 !!

Tough to tell with nothing to really compare it to. Looks like a big spawning male with that swollen, dark colored head. 

10 to 15

You're pretty close.

All I had for scale was a large jar of salmon eggs. My digital scale was out of batteries that day. Go figure 

That is one fat cat. I say new state record @ 45 pounds. Keep fishing.
