I was typing in Large mouth bass in yahoo seach, and as I finished putting in large, the first suggested hit was "world's largest Catfish".  I clicked on it for fun and OH MY GOD!!! That is a fish!!!

He caught that on a breadball and a #4 aberdeen hook.

Wow, they used a saw to cut the meat. That will literally feed the whole village.

I bet Fish Chris would go after them with bass tackle.

This fish made it also to our newspapers (about a year ago). I remember that it was caught with a net...

European Catfish grow longer than this Mekong Cat.

LOL funny!

lmao

i just had a visual image of him doing this

It looks like a fake to me, more like a carp than a catfish.

acually it is a catfish

i think its called a wells catfish or something

A fish that old can't taste all that great.

You are probably right, but I am going out on a limb and think that the poor Chinese villagers arent eating for "taste"  

I know you couldnt pay me to eat that thing though....

they ain't eaten those. they sellin dem. they get big money for em, they have a shrine in china just for this fish. Still lookin for one in the mighty mississippi. Don't think i got much of a chance but I'll let ya know.

cheesesauce, that thing is frickin' huge! I can't imagine that thing being very fun to catch, though...much like reeling in a tree. I'd never eat it, either...that thing has to be 80-150 years old, LOL.
