Catfish in Italy’s Po Delta are known for their incredible size—if not their appealing taste. With some specimens growing up to 4 meters in length, weighing upwards of 868 pounds (approx. 394 kg), this is the spot for ambitious anglers who are out to set new records.
That’s just what Dino Ferrari did while he and his twin brother were out on a fishing excursion one day in February 2015. It’s rare enough to catch a catfish over 2 meters in length. On that day, Dino hooked a monster 2.67-meter-long wels catfish that weighed a colossal 280 pounds (approx. 127 kg).
