Answer

A. direct object

Explanation

In sentence structure, we often see verbs which have two object slots, a direct one and an indirect one. The direct object is what is directly affected by the action of the verb; whereas, the indirect object is usually benefitting from or impacted by the action of the verb. Looking at this sentence structure, 'Mitchell' is the subject performing the action(caught). 'us' is the recipient of the action which means it is the indirect object here. Then, 'a huge catfish', being the item over which the action is performed is the direct object. The use of the verb 'caught' indicates that there was something the act was done upon. That something is the 'huge catfish'. Hence, it clarifies 'huge catfish' as the direct object. For clarification: neither applies when no other objects are impacted which is not the case here.
