World Record Catfish

The world record cat fish weighed 646 pounds and was caught in Thailand. It was caught in May of 2005 and was called a Giant Mekong Catfish. It was five times bigger than the previous record holding catfish that was caught in America. Could you imagine frying up that much catfish?

In Spain, a blind, 56 year old woman caught the largest freshwater fish ever caught by a British woman, and it was a 214-pound catfish. She caught it in the River Ebro near Barcelona. She didn't know that it would be a half hour fight when she grabbed the pole she had planted on the side of the river, but she did land the fish. The woman was named Sheila and she is only five foot and three inches tall.
