My wife sent me this....Wels Catfish caught on rod&reel on a topwater lure. 8.8ft.long & 280 pds. 40 minute fight on the Po River in Italy. Like I said, too big for my aquarium. I realize that it should go into the "fishing" section, but I just wanted the catfish gurus to see it also before it got moved to there. Leave it here for a day mods. Thanks, sorry to knowingly break the law.Dino-Ferrari-with-record-wels.jpgdino-wels-cat....jpgsportex-italia.jpg It really is a beautiful fish, beastly as it is.

Hard to imagine one man reeling that monster in with a rod.
 
Yeah, a little to big for anyone's tank here, and probably most public aquariums as well :)
