This would explain why it looks so unusual compared to cats in the U.S.. I looked at web site noted, there are cats that would kill a man on there.

I posted the picture because I did not know that catfish could get so big. I am not a fisherman. I have heard of a giant catfish in the Mekong river. I wonder if they get this big. I wonder if Korea has catfish.

^ for MO's man

140lbs is OK but how about 227lbs?

That's a monster. I've seen them pulled out of the Ohio nearly that size. I just haven't caught one myself, yet. That's a nice one. Reminds me to start getting ready for summer.

I hate catfish. For some reason, I really hate them. It may come from years of catching "trash" hardheads down in FL.

If I hooked a fish like that, I'd throw my pole in the water.

Topped for folks trying to ID this fish.

I didn't know there was an Italian Catfish Society.

Damn thing looks pre-historic ...
