| hello everyone i am a proud texan and am ashamed of the rude people who have posted comments here love your site and as fisherman we should be passing the love of the sport and respect of others to the future generations |

Our purpose is not to be involved in controversy on political questions such as appartenence or not of Basque Country or Catalonia in Spain. |
| Nic pic, I like your weigh station, fish care is important, a fine example to set. |
| Riba-roja is in Catalonia, and Catalonia is not Spain. Please keep this always in mind. |
| Nice sandy colour |
| This photo was the only trophy, no dorsals trimmed, no whiskers cut or taken, no stuffed heads for my wall. I Catch and Release & I sleep in peace. I educate best practice, fish safety and return and would never kill such a creature. |
| All fish are returned in the same condition they are photographed. |
| I hope nobody catches you and displays you as a trophy |
| How could you kill such a beautiful creature???? |

| Finally the truth.
Thank you for posting this site especially with the links to all the other huge catfish. I have been amazed by the site and the look of sheer joy portrayed on all the angler's faces. I believe the world record was recently set by a Mekong giant catfish of 646 lbs or 300kg in Thailand. |

| Guys thats one huge cat, I would have loved to been there to see you two fight that monster in. Good luck in the future with your fishing and dont forget to take a child fishing with you. |
| looks like a camera trick photagraphy |
| The size conversion system from centimeters to feet was based on Imperial units (UK) only. From now on, we have also the size in FT/US for our visitors from US Foot Survey zone. More info about conversion systen can be found in these pages:

| That's a big cat. Recently reported was a 295 kgs (yes KGS!) catfish caught in Thailand. Seeing is believing - haven't seen photo yet. Add salt to this unconfirmed report. |

| I am surprised that this fish is classified as a true mandarin considering that the head and part of the back is normal catfish colouration. Fantastic fish however. I will submit photo of a true mandarin caught yesterday as soon as the photos are processed. |
| I would not stick my head in there |
| I have cought 35 inch cat fish be for and thought they were wales ontil I got them up on to shore. I could just not enven begen to think of what kind of fite this cat would put up. That cat ways 45 more ponds than me and I would be a little skidish to get him on my line. |
| How common is it to catch a monster like this in the Po.
I saw an Amazon cat the size of a station wagon at the Milwakee (Wisconson, USA) zoo when i was ten, which was bigger than the one pictured. I can only imagine what else lies at the bottom of that river! |
| Why does that link about the Fish in Miss. say "World Record"? It is not as big as the one on this page, right? |
| Hello and grats on the nice fish. I was wondering on what the age might be for a cat that size? |
| Theres a new United States Catfish record.. It was caught in Illinios in the Mississippi River.. Heres a link to the article.. http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20050524173309990004&ncid=NWS00010000000001 |
| nice one grandad dax |
| Loch Ness monster is here: http://xvella.free.fr/videos/iron_246_kazakhstan.wmv |
| That is one massive catfish! |
| Hi just to let everybody know there is fish that large here in the United States. But that large of fish hangs mostly around close to the damns and eat the small quality of smaller fish.
As divers who check the drain by the damn have actaully seen them. They have been spotted in the damns by the Arizona lakes. So if anybody thinks these large fish ae fake. You are in la - la land. Wake up. This is a proven true fact.. REX |

| lots of great fish but why do you not use an unhooking mat like Alberto?
Get one, they are great: O) |
| i like that you tell the size of the fish but in order for us viewers we need to be able to see the fish in order to fully understand that size |
| Makes me want to fish for catfish.
Nice fish. |
| Life is like a coin you can spend it any way you like but you can only spend it once. |
| Normally we do not accept "horror" pictures, but this photo can be used in "educational" purposes too:
It is necessary to be very careful with triple hooks. |
| That is a truly awesome fish!!
Kentucky, USA |
| Nice catch Lucas!
To all you people still doubting the real story all you need to do is check out sites like http://www.grupposiluro.it/ and http://www.meervalstudiegroep.com/. |
| to FUNNYLOOKINGOWL:
for age...: i could say this fish is near 20 years old for taste...: too old for good tasting meat remarks...: this fish was released after capture & photos |
| Hey, is anyone going to answer my question (see above) as to the age & taste of these catfish? |
| holy crap
how did you catch that catfish i love to fish and ive never even seen a fish that big. |
| We are for catch & release program... |
| I have absolutely no idea how I got to this website but it is interesting stuff even though I know nothing about fishing. I was wondering... How old would a catfish this size be? Also I wouldn't condone anyone eating anything that's survived long enough to grow this big, but if one was to eat a catfish of this size, would it taste the same as a smaller catfish? |
| Lucas,
I am an editor for a USA-based fishing magazine and would like to include a photo of you such as this one showing the top-set eyes and underbite that the wels cats exhibit for an upcoming piece on klonking. The piece will deal with some american catfishermen and their klonking experiences as well as a printed link to the predastore.nl site where fishermen may purchase a qualiy example of a klonk. Please contact me at your earliest convience as the deadline for the photos is approaching. You are welcome to review the article for authenticity. Good Fishing, Tim Scott mailto:tim@procats.com |
| It truly amazes me that this started over a year ago, and after all this time it is still being passed around as a "new" item.
Lucas - this really is an awesome catch, My husband loves to take our two children fishing here in GA - to them a 5lb trout might as well be 100lbs! - Their Faces are just as ecstatic regardless of how big it is. That being said - I can only imagine the look and overall excitement on YOUR face when you brought this big cat in - after all - aren't we all just big kids? GREAT JOB!! |
| All I can say is WOW! Living in SA I have seen some cat fish which I thought was big! But nothing compared to waht I just saw on here. I came accross this article via http://www.urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_slideshow45a.htm - at 1st I didnt beleive it... but all I can say, this is one fish story I believe! |

| A truly stunning achievement Gaetano. My father was an avid and excellent fisherman and in his travels with the US Navy had travelled and fished in many countries. I'm sure he would have been deeply impressed. I know it takes more than just luck to land the big ones. Excellent job. Was your Wels a Catch-and-Release? BTW, I and many fellow yanks DO know where Italy and the Po River are. I apologize for my country-man. |
