My fishing and fellow blind friends: What the heck is a, "wels catfish?" Indeed, I've seen the picture of that monster. But in my world, I only know of channel catfish and such critters. In the US, do we have "wels" catfish? Thanks for sharing the article and yes, I had seen that article just the other day as well. I haven't read what bait or exactly how they caught that monster. Steve or Ron or anybody, do you know? There is a fun show on I think the Discovery Channel called, Monster Fish - perhaps. Anyhow, the host travels the world to catch monster type fish but only fresh water as I understand the show. I listen to it late at night or if not sleeping as is my regular pattern, in the middle of the night. It is a fun show to listen to but I sure can't remember the host ever catching a fish the size of this wels catfish! Happy fishing or dreaming of such to all!Kevin
