Man catches what may be biggest catfish ever reeled in (1 Viewer)

[Cold Ethyl]

An Italian angler could be a new world-record holder after reeling in a massive catfish in Italy's longest river.

Alessandro Biancardi spent 40 minutes catching the fish that measured over 9 feet long.
“I never expected to be able to make a catch like this solo,” he said.
The giant catfish was later released back into the river.

Only 40 mins hard to believe that, should've taken 4-6 hrs.

In the news it's said they let the fish free later; I posted a few pics too in the 'scary nature' thread yesterday. 💙

I don't know if catfish are much of a fighting fish. It was probably forty minutes of dragging in dead weight.

Could one eat it at all? Living in the mud all the time and I don't want to know what it slurps up and digests. Dead stuff I guess.

I want my bit of seafood from the ocean.

What a beautiful and ugly monster.

I've heard stories from the Amazon about 6-7 foot catfish that have swallowed up small native children. Looking at this beast, it most easily could swallow a child. I would never go in that river again...

 

[wiggins]

These are the dangerous ones. Do not throw them back...

Yeah I've heard that there are catfish as big as Volkswagens at the lake here where I live and ever since I've heard that, I literally can't just free jump into the lake anymore... We used to go to what we call "the cliffs" in the middle of a remote part of the lake & we would all go there to party, camp out, run/jump into the lake off the edge of the cliffs & had a fucking blast and I never thought anything about any of it but now when I think back to those days, I just think of a giant catfish just waiting there with it's mouth wide open under the surface of the water like "hmm, easy snack!" 😅
