I have never heard of them, but after googling it, it looks like they are a 
European freshwater fish.  Sounds like they will eat anything, and in the info 
I just read, will actually jump out of the water onto land to catch a pigeon to 
eat…keep them away from me please!

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
