World record catfish!

[Fawnbuster]

Caught in a river in Italy. Article doesn't say what species of cat it is but the head on view looks like a flathead, but im pretty sure its a Wells catfish. Took the guy 40 minutes to land it, there's also a video of it being measured in the article.

Well if @underwhelmed doesn't get enough fish on his trip maybe I can contact this guy. I think this catfish will feed everyone at the party, I mean fish fry at his house. lol

And I fished all afternoon in 2 small lakes today and didn't even get a bite! Tried topwater, mid water and the bottom. Artificial, crawlers, redworms, minnows and chicken liver. We just joined a local Conservation club. My nephew lost his rod and reel, he wasn't watching a pole and his wife saw the rod fly off the holder and disappeared in the lake lol and she slid into the water trying to grab it. We casted weighted hooks for half an hour, he finally snagged his line and pulled the rod and reel in at one end and about a 3lb channel cat on thee other end.
