River Monsters -Wells Catfish
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* |

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. :) |

They wade along the edges of the banks feeling for them up under the lip and drag them out by hand. Sometimes it takes a couple guys to rassle them up onto the bank. I guess they grab a gator now and then, that is why guys have names like "Lefty" and "Stumpy". Ha! "Don't get out of the boat"! |

I guess they grab a gator now and then, that is why guys have names like "Lefty" and "Stumpy". They call it "noodling". Type it into YouTube and sit back... Grappling is also an accepted term. Nuts is what I call it. That's why God invented fishing poles. By the by, if you ever want to do some cat fishing, drop me a line and I'll give you my secret recipe for catfish bait - I've got a sure fire, never miss concoction that will net some monster channel cats. |
