Bought advanced license but can't keep trophy catfish

[M. K.]

Hi, quick question, I'm in Missouri and I bought an advanced license but for some reason I can't keep trophy catfish over 8lbs. I caught up to 6lbs with no problem but caught a 9.5 trophy cat but no option to keep. Anyone know why? Thnx for the help

check the stats of your keepnet, there is a max total weight and a max single fish weight.

That might be the issue.
