Hahaha, fuck yeah.

this summons up one word in mind: JDAM
I've caught bigger. tsch.
You can find catfish that big in the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Also, big lakes with dams are a good place to find 'em that size too...the first time I went fishing on Truman Lake here in Missouri, I saw pictures of lots of people who had caught 4+ foot catfish in the spillway below the dam.
On a canoe trip on the Current River, I was in a boat with my brother's dad, and he was spotting in the front. He saw something in the water, freaked out and started yelling at me to look below us...there was an alligator snapping turtle that looked to be about 3 feet long and almost as wide (I know water distorts, but still it was way bigger than a normal snapping turtle).
That started a whole discussion on local freakishly large animals we'd seen/heard about, and he said when he learned to dive at the Lake of the Ozarks, his instructor told him about diving below Truman dam and seeing a 6 foot catfish, which prompted him to never dive there again.
I don't doubt the sucker got a taste for human flesh, but I don't really see how a catfish is going to eat a live person, even when they're that big...they don't have teeth like a shark that will cut you into bite-sized chunks. It's their horns that'll make your life miserable.
Maybe a toddler could get wolfed down though...scary thought for a parent.

I'd be armed with a shotgun at all times around that river tbh.
Have you ever before in your life been fishing? 75kg? Lightweight.... I reeled in fish twice that size from 400 feet of water. It was a Halibut. It was like reeling in a sheet of plywood, made of lead. We did shoot the fucker before we brought it in the boat (with a .357 mag), we'd also use a harpoon with spear gun tip to bring the lil' guys in the boat. But shit, I'm one of those crazy Alaskans...Mek-Stizzle wrote:
Yeah, I forgot to think about the whole "pulling it out of the water against its own will and pulling it towards you" bit of fishing. That thing weighed 75kg, and combine that with the fact it probably struggled alot, that's actually quite amazing that they managed to catch it without resorting to high yield explosives and/or harpoons

But anyway that looks that looks pretty gangsta...

But still, 75Kg sounds like alot, especially if it's struggling. And especially if all you have is like a rope to pull it in. I dunno. Never actually tried it.

@ paradoxic....yeah, i see it

About 150lb? It's a big fish, but imagine shark fishing or some of the big 1600lb tuna. Mek, if there's one think you need to do in your life, it's go fishing.Mek-Stizzle wrote:

seen a pike take a dog in a pond one day, was like something out of Jaw's, a wee Yorkie terrier that this old guy owned, it was fighting like fuck trying to get out but the pike must of had it by its back legs/leg next thing it disappeared under the surface of the water before I could get to it, and that was the end of it, poor old fella was inconsolable..

This is among the many many reasons I wouldn't get into water that you can't see through...
I think it was declared dead, at one point?
Or was that the Rhine?
It was the rhine...I read that it was close to being biologically dead from chemical pollution...SEREVENT wrote:

Then, after a clean up operation, some factory in Switzerland i think, caught fire, and dumped everything in the river and turned it bright red, killing all the fish.

I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it went right to my head
Where ever I may roam
On land or sea or foam
You will always hear me singing this song
Show me the way to go home
