RE: Giant Catfish

[Jerry Johnson]

There are reports of river catfish in Texas (yes, Texas) that weighed well over 1000 lbs. This was during the "Hide and Tallow" days of the old west (1860s-1870s), when beef was killed just for the fat and hide. All of the meat was dumped in nearby rivers, where the catfish lived.

I'm not one for fishing stories, but the picture going along with this
article is impressive.
