More Fish Stories: Giant Catfish Caught In Spain | Outdoor Life

Giant Catfish Caught In Spain | Outdoor Life


 
Wels catfish are found primarily in Europe, these fish grow to humongous sizes. The world record, just recently caught in Italy's River Po, weighed more than 250 pounds and measured over 8 feet, 2 inches. 
 
Reeling in one of those giants has got to be just an incredible experience.
 
British angler Jonathan Avery sure got a taste for that thrill last weekend when he landed a giant of his own while fishing the River Segre in Spain.

It took five men to help haul Avery's catfish to the bank where it was taped at 8 feet, 3 inches. It was later weighed at 245 pounds.

Quite the reward for 15 hours of fishing.
