Now that is one h#%% of a cat fish!

Fillet it using a two man rip saw. :-/

I saw one of those on get wild w/ Cindy Garrison.

Did you catch one of these Bass 109?

Just exactly what kind of setup would you use for something like that?  Good lord...

I watched a show on the National Geographic Channel where they caught one of these.  They stretch a heavy duty net completely across the river and wait until one hangs up in it.  Getting it to the bank is the hard part.  I think the one on the show was 9 feet.  (Maybe it was this one in your picture.)  They have a big long wooden contraption that they have built and they tie each end of the fish to the contraption and then they pull it out of the water.  It took quite a few people standing chest deep in the water to do this and the show stated that the possibility of injury was great with a giant 9 foot fish thrashing its tail and body.  

Yup you are right senile im whatching the same show and you got it down pat.

there was an episode of wild boys were steve-o and chris wrestled a catfish this size in the water.  It was pretty funny

They are strong fighters. I was in Thailand in October and landed a few. The biggest was at 52lbs.

They were two other gentlemen from England that landed two that were big. 88lbs and 90lbs.

If you get on them you will be left tried and sore at the end of the day. Good feeling

P.S. The gentlemen that Cindy Garrison fished with is a friend of mine and probably one of the best

in Southeast Asia.
