SNAGKING Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) Check out this monster! Article here The wels catfish is defined by a long, scaleless body; a broad, flat head; and an extremely wide mouth containing rows of small, sandpaper-like teeth — hundreds of them. It also has two sets of barbels (whisker-like organs) on the upper and lower jaw, which help the fish hunt its prey in the murky waters of large lakes and slow-flowing rivers across Europe. The wels catfish is an adept hunter, first using its pectoral fins to create a disorienting eddy and then taking advantage of its vast, vacuum-like mouth to suck prey in and swallow it whole.

Marko Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 IS there a reason why catfish that big don't grow in Canada?? I know that ones caught here are a different type of catfish but why dont we have "euro cats" swimming anywhere here. Imagine how awesome it would be to catch them??
