Fun fact: sometimes the catfish actually turns around during the release and tries or many catfish have managed to bite the angler's leg. They may not look like it, but catfish can become very aggressive, for example when they are guarding their nest with the eggs. If something gets too close, they will grab it.
wells were introduced to the Italy around 1970, and this catfish was caught in the po river (I may be wrong, about when they were introduced) so it couldn't be older then 50 years, wells usually only reach age 30 in the wild. They get to a max of 70.
C&R is normal among "professional" catfish anglers, at least in Europe. We want the fish to get bigger. Catfish as trophies? Kill them? For what? Nowadays there are cameras ;)
@@brianasheffield45 nonsense. I fish for them since i was an early Teen and i caught like 2 dozens between 6 and 8 feet from Germany, southern france to spain. They only attack human if you step into there nests while spawning
Wels catfish..probably in Spain (they were introduced there and tend to grow larger than up north). You can find videos of them jumping on shore and eating pigeons. As a note, when i was in Germany, i saw a guy tossing a stick into a canal playing fetch with his German Shepard. A wels pulled it under and presumably ate it since the dog wasn't seen again.
Nah that's impossible. They don't live long enough to develop to that size. This catfish is at least 40 years old and the oldest catfish in the world in Mekong river live up to 60 years. Regular catfish only reach 15-20 years old on average.
My cousin caught one that's 2.4m long in Spain and i witnessed him catching one that's 1.8m. for reference 85 inches is 2.15m, so its not a world record !
Fish was like ok dude take your pic and let me go I have children to eat
You mean children to feed right?
....right?

Thank you for letting him go back to his home ❤ I wonder how old he is 🤔
Wels cats can get old. That guy was probably fifty or sixty years old, would be my guess
Trust he is not fifty he is like eighty

These Wels catfish are incredibly strong, and you need very heavy tackle to subdue them.
This was an incredible achievement. 👍
That fish is 76 years old
