Saw in the news where this Italian caught a 280 lb. catfish in Italy photographed then released. Had it been caught in this country below the Mason Dixon line I can think of two words that would have been used. FISH FRY.
Probably used a 12 lb earthworm for bait. :o
It's a whopper.

I saw that on the TV a little earlier. Looked like one of the beasts Jeremy Wade pulls up on "River Monsters". :o
I don't think I would want to eat one that big.
I don't think I would want to be ate by one that big! mercy sakes,
I too feel like it probably wouldn't have been very good to eat but hey. How many people can say they went to a fish fry and one fish fed everyone. Not since biblical times.
I have caught fish offshore that will feed a crowd. A couple of Amber Jack that weighed in at over 100 lbs and a grooper in the 33 lb range.
Wow!
