Who, where, when, how heavy is that fishy ? What happened to that fishy ? More details please...

That's a good catch I must say.

Very nice... would love to see Rusty with a catch like that, though the fish would look much smaller with him holding it.. :wink: :lol:

I believe it was an angler named Alberto from Spain and the fish was caught on the Galibore stretch of the Cauvery. A little before this a 103-105 lb mahseer had been caught on the same stretch by an angler from Bombay. Think his name is Javed.

Thankfully, these fish are returned to water after a brief photo session. The pros out there see to it that the fish suffers minimum trauma. The thrill is in the catching part of it only. And rightly so.

This is a catfish caught in the Red River that divides Texas and Oklahoma.

Vikram,
Does the catfish shown in your picture have spines concealed by the pectoral fins? (like the ones we find here?)
