dman Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Ive no what kind of cat this is....looks like a flathead i guess but has an Eel like tail. http://www.glumbert.com/media/fishing Quote
Matt Jungblut Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 that kitty was huge and what a fight i dont think any of my rods would hold up to that Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted October 11, 2007 Super User Posted October 11, 2007 That's a wels. Native to some European rivers. Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Great video. Yes that is a Wels catfish. Those things actually get about twice as big as the one he caught in the video. Amazing how he landed that fish. He just put his hands in its mouth and lifted it out. I would never do that with a catfish.... Quote
dman Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 thanks! i never heard of them....did a search and found some pics: @ http://www.welscatfish.co.uk/photo_index.htm Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted October 12, 2007 Super User Posted October 12, 2007 That rod took some punishment. Must have been a Loomis......... Quote
rfrazier Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Lol looked like he was gonna ride it during the release Quote
slomoe Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Lol looked like he was gonna ride it during the release I would have. Kinda like a fresh water dolphin. ;D Quote
Tenka Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 A wels cat looks like a cross between a flat head and bowfin. I am 99% sure that the reel was a Penn senator 114. The rod "wow" i want that one for some of the bigger yellowtail out here. Dave Quote
Super User T-rig Posted October 13, 2007 Super User Posted October 13, 2007 That's a wels. Native to some European rivers. And also lakes. They dont get much bigger than that! Quote
Super User FishTank Posted October 13, 2007 Super User Posted October 13, 2007 What a huge catfish. I can't believe that rod took that much punishement. I wonder what type of lure or bait he was using? Great video. Quote

Great video. Most guys that target these things use live bait! Especially small carp (2-3lbs.!!!) That fish was caught on live bait. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted October 13, 2007 Super User Posted October 13, 2007 That rod took some punishment. Must have been a Loomis......... ya right more like a big water UGly stik u can see a ugly stik tiger rod... even bigger in the vid Quote
