Caught in Italy and posted on I-Net 2 days ago:
It was big enough that the angler who caught it could slide his whole body into its mouth: "Italian fisherman Dino Ferrari landed what could potentially be a world record wels catfish in Italys Po Delta. Ferraris fish measured an incredible 8.7 feet in length and weighed 280 pounds. The current weight record for a wels catfish is over 300 pounds, but according to the Daily Mirror, Ferrari may have set a record for the largest catfish to be caught with a rod and reel."
Heres photographic proof that this thing could just swallow an adult if it wanted to. Its enormous

Now that is a HOG! Congratulations to the angler. Side Note: There was an episode about the Wels Catfish on the T.V. show River Monsters.

Yep - that's a pretty serious fish. It would have been a real task to get that in a boat for a fish pic.
