Super User Darren. Posted March 7, 2018 Author Super User Posted March 7, 2018 Yeah, that thing could munch on a human. 1 Quote
Super User Scott F Posted March 7, 2018 Super User Posted March 7, 2018 It just looks big because he's pushing it out toward the camera. Doesn't look over 250lbs to me. 2 10 Quote

New River Addiction Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Come on guys....anyone can tell that he's just long arming it! Lol 1 4 Quote
Super User gim Posted March 8, 2018 Super User Posted March 8, 2018 Actually the video that Boomstick posted is a Piraiba catfish from South America, not a Wels Catfish from Europe. The Wels Catfish is an introduced species that is non-native. The Piraiba is native to the greater Amazon River basin in South America. Jeremy Wade targeted both of them in separate episodes of River Monsters. 3 Quote

Chance_Taker4 Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I think I would mount that thing. No way I'm releasing it. Quote

Depending on where, Wels are illegal to keep and must be released back into the river. Not sure if his was under that rule or not... Quote
