SLAG-91 1,483 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I watched a PBS special on noodling in Oklahoma (basically, that's fishing with your bare hands and maybe a cord) and they were pulling out catfish that were damn near that big. Woulda had to have been a strong rod to reel that big hoss in. Reminds me of "Catfish Hunter" from Grumpy Old Men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexbo 104 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I saw an article on rare catfish in southeast Asia, Vietnam - Cambodia area; the Mekong Giant catfish, makes this one look like a minnow. This species gets up to 650 lbs and 10 feet long. Talk about a fish fry!!! Trying to save a catfish as big as a bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,048 Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 Not catfish but when I lived in Alaska we used to catch Halibut. I sure never caught any that were 800 lbs. Pacific Halibut Hippoglossus stenolepis Description To 8'9" (2.7 m); 800 lbs (363 kg). LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny AU-92 0 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 One hell of a fish fry! You'd have to buy up every single bag of Martha White yellow corn meal that you could find at the Piggly Wiggly!! Like Cousin Eddie says... That's gooo-OOOOD!!

Did you see the guy that had his hand wrapped with duct tape because he was bit by a snake the week before? They had another guy that stuck his hand in a beaver hole and the critter about took his hand off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those things are huge, bite hard and have nasty attitudes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
