... Anybody watch "River Monsters" last night? *It was on the Wells
catfish. with some of these monsters being well over 200 lb. *the
biggest the guy caught was in Spain and it weighed 177 lb. Once it was
pulled on shore it seemed rather docil and harmless, but once it was
gently taken back into the water, the thing snapped around like it was
going to take the guys leg off.

the guy doing the fishing said it was quite possible that these things
could actually eat a human baby as ancient folklore had said.

I couldn't believe those huge filets being tuned loose. **Sniff*

Yeah, but who's got a cast iron skillet that big?

You have a point there.Besides that it would probably take the fun out
of fishing.

at 157 -200 Lb.?

One catch and you have a freezer full.

That's part of the problem with the Mekong Giant catfish which is
endangered - it actually isn't a bad tasting fish. Unlike most muddy
water catfish which taste like...well, mud...it's pretty good. Had
some back in the day.

No - I won't tell you the story either. :)
