The Daily Mail has the story of this new European record catfish haul.
You want to talk about eating IotD animals? OK then.

holyfuckingshit

And I thought the one foot catfish I caught as a kid were long. :-(

Throw that puppy on the grill!!!

Actually, puppies are better roasted...

Several grills.

So, what are the folks up at Loch Ness going to do for tourists now that these guys caught Nessie?

It's obviously faked - the fish is normal-sized and those guys are only four inches tall.

Catfish steaks for EVERYBODY !!!

Actually, I was just wondering if everyone else felt like having sex with that catfish or if it was just me?

No playing with your food Young MAN !!!!!

Size does matter.

Fish smell bad in general--I'd hate to think what a fish that big smells like. I don't think I'd be willing to put a huge dead fish on my lap, no matter how much I wanted a picture.

My only question...

did they go noodling for it?

That would have been a site !!!

Whats noodling?

Walking along in a swamp sticking your hand in holes under the water , feeling about , if you feel a cat fishes gills ( they tend to sit around on the bottom and in holes waiting for sometasty to swim into their mouths ) grab a hold and wrestle the fish to the surface , I have NEVER and will NEVER do it because
1) alagater snapping turtles tend to do the same thing ,
2) snakes hang out there as well ( snakes don't bother me so much when you know they are there , its when they supprise you that you tend to find trees with your face )

In that case, I'd rather be the eater than the catcher. :eek:

For some reason the term noodling brought a very different idea to mind... I can't see any man risking that just for a fish though.

Fish don't smell bad when you first catch them. It's only after a few days in the fridge (moreso out of it) that they smell bad.

What I'd hate about having a catfish on my lap, even a small one, is the slime they have all over them.

btw..that's one fucking huge catfish.

Didn't Australia grace us with "love serenade"?

"Breathe Vicki Ann, breathe!"

I've no idea what you're talking about.

Nothing special here folks... Move along...

Where in the hell do people find these fucking huge fish?

Wastewater streams near nuclear power plants.

I want to know whether "canoodling" means noodling from a canoe.

I'm more concerned with how they catch those giant things more than where do they find them.

And, do they catch and release? (I hope)

still learning stuff in the cellar, cool

I remember it being quite funny, but then I was a bit of a bake artist back in the day.

So it's not just me! And you thought IOTD animals were just for eating...

Yeah, right. Dinner, a movie, and who knows?

Yeah, what were these guys fishing with, steel cables? More than likely they were just out to catch your basic largemouth or crappie, but what happens when you've got a 220-pound catfish hooked onto your 6-pound line?

I'd bet they are related somehow - think - they are both sticking your fingers into damp fishy smelling places to see what you come up with......

I doubt they noodled that one... I'd like to see that struggle.

Man I'd never go back in the water if I caught one of those mamoths.
