Awesome kitty!

A weight formula for channel cats courtesy of Wikipedia: W = (L/L1)^b (Invariably, b is close to 3.0 for all species, L1 is the length of a typical fish weighing 1 kg. For channel catfish, b = 3.2293, somewhat higher than for many common species, and L1 = 45.23 cm)

Based on this formula, your fish weighed in at a hair under 6 kg, or approximately 13.21 pounds.
