November 25, 2006: Big-ass catfish

Undertoad · 11-25-2006, 12:11 PM

The Daily Mail has the story of this new European record catfish haul.

Quote:

A British angler has landed a European record on his first catfishing expedition. Carl Smith, pictured right with friend Dave Jones, caught the 226lb wels catfish on holiday in Spain.

The men struggled with the 8ft monster for more than 90 minutes and have named it Jaws.

You want to talk about eating IotD animals? OK then.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Ibby · 11-25-2006, 11:15 PM

My only question...

did they go noodling for it?

zippyt · 11-25-2006, 11:35 PM

That would have been a site !!!
