Italian catfish fancier Dino Ferrari is no stranger to enormous fish
Over the years he’s caught some whopper wels catfish, but none as big as the one he caught on Thursday February 19.
He was fishing the Po Delta in Italy when he hooked the lurking leviathan.
When he reeled in his catch, it weighed an incredible 127kg and measured 2.67m.
While it is possibly a record catfish caught on rod and reel, it is amazingly not the biggest wels catfish recorded. That honour goes to a 144kg 2.78m monster, also from the Po Delta.
Potentially, the species could grow as long as 4m and weigh 400kg, but specimens over two metres in length are extremely rare.
An indiscriminate feeder, wels will basically eat anything they can catch and fit into their mouths.
非常不幸的魚!
希望他們能釣上和釋放...
