    these are real, and they do get bigger. i have seen then as large as the photos, i have heard stories of catfish being as big as a volks wagon.

    divers inspecting damns in the tennessee valley authority have reported seeing large catfish, and they won't go back in. :)


    this was about 10 years ago.

    Looks nice.
    Send to the local captain D's, they have good catfish dinner.

    Could eat for a year on one of those.

    Cheers

    catfish and boar... check out this boar, some may have seen it, I think it was shot in Georgia somewhere, anyway the kid that shot it was only 11 yrs. old, this boar weighed like 1050 lbs, or somewhere around there, and something like 8-9 feet long.. ^^

    I know it's not a catfish but... still the thing is huge...

    I've seen those catfish in mags before.It would take hours upon hours just to real those monsters in..they are great fighters till the end..i don't know about that wild boar though that would be some sort of world record there.

    I do a vast amount of coarse fishing, I have fished for catfish before, yes those images are real, the world record is around 210lb and the river ebro is the best place for monstor cats.

    i remember reading about this. the kid shot it with a .44 magnum revolver, several times.

    now i want to know how a small child can handle a firearm that large, those things kick like a mule.
