You should have seen the one that got away...

albino one...

The 2 on the bottom and the one the 4th one from the top are all eel tailed catfish they have been know to get that big, i've never seen one albino before though...

the first 2 look like channel catfish.

I saw this show on tv once about people fishing rivers for catfish and instead of using bait, they would but their arms down into the mud feeling for the catfish and would put an arm inside it's mouth and let it clamp down and then pull them out of their holes. It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Has anyone else seen or heard of doing this before?

Heres a big catfish for you!!

ACK!!!!!! lmao i want one as a pet!! ohhhhh and then u could try and train it to let u ride on its back and and and....*babbles incoherently*

Poor fish

I have heard of people putting their hands in the mud to catch cat fish i have done it before. It is called hand grabbing.

wow vokmen thats an awsome pic of a cat fish....

the 3rd one s big...but fake...

The art of catching catfish with your hand/fist is called "noodling". Only legal in Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi and I think Arkansas? I know the first three states say it's legal... but anyway, I personally don't even like having a catfish on my fishing line, let alone a huge one dangling from my arm... They air a show about it once in awhile, it's pretty interesting!!!

What hppens if those huge catfish catch you??? There big enough
to eat the fisher!

well i haven't heard any stories catfish eating people, they eat some animals, i mean there was a story of one eating a dog , poor dog....

There are plenty of people who die while "noodling". It's pretty stupid if you ask me.

Ya don't say...

Hmm..


nothing like pan fried catfish

I'll believe a catfish can get that big once I catch one. And I go fishing ever so often and I never catch one that big!

can somebody give me a links to see this all giant catfishes...??please...

Do a Google search Pendekar, youll find plenty of cat fish pics and links.

some of those are fake but the real ones are really kl
huge

I'be more worried about pike eating people if they got that large

Ugh! more things to make me scared of swimming in lakes!

Here's a link to an article about noodling from snopes.

EDIT:
Oh wait, sorry Janiel, you've already posted those pictures. Nevermind.

Holy poop! I never knew fish could get that big. If I saw one of those with my own eyes I would think it was a shark.

I wonder if they are real? I went fishing for years back in the day never did I catch one that big or close to it!!!

just curious to know if there are any other giant catfish photos around, other than the ones already posted in this topic..

i mean really recent ones....i just think the giant creatures look so odd
