I read that story on the discovery channel website. I guess the tribe cut it up and they ate it. I can't imagine seeing anything like that swiming by the boat in a river. I think I would shart!!!

There is a rumor that there is a volkswagen beetle size catfish at our dam. Some people have spotted it several times.

RE: worlds largest catfish????

catfish is some good eating. just like any "wild game" its all in how you prepare it. it would probably be 3rd on my list of fish, with the first to a toss up between walleye and fresh perch pulled out of the ice.
