It's Just a Catfish!

Featured Replies

For all those crazy guys who go 'noodling' for catfish and stick their arms down the fish's throat!! This would be 'all the catfish you can eat',

Each year, a few people were drowning or disappearing mysteriously in Huadu's Furong (China) Reservoir.  It was not until recently, when the son of a government official went swimming, in the reservoir and was drowned, that the secret was revealed.

It is a 3 meter (9.8ft)  long man-eating catfish whose head alone is 1 meter (3.3ft) wide!

After cutting up the catfish, people were surprised to find the remains of another man inside! 

Swimming in the reservoir is now forbidden because it is feared another similar man-eating catfish is still lurking in the waters.

Big fish, but that's not a catfish.  It's a whale shark.  And a juvenile one at that.  I snorkled with some mid-sized 20-25 footers when I was deployed to Africa.

that's a bogus story that's been going around a while...

Obviously a whale shark. Plankton eater, harmless unless you get hit by the tale as it swims.
