 That southern-fried picture of dozing under a shade tree on a hot day and pulling a lazy catfish out of a river for supper took a big hit when Bernie Campbell reeled in this monster. The British fisherman had chased after the rare albino wels catfish for seven years when he finally hooked into one on the River Ebro near Barcelona, and only then did he understand the fight he had on his hands. "It was so strong it nearly pulled me in on four separate occasions," Campbell told the Daily Mail. “I was absolutely shattered when I landed it, but the feeling was unbelievable." The big fella (shown in the gallery above) checked in at 206 pounds -- 10 more than the existing world record -- and was released back into the water.

Nice fish.
It would be fun to see some guy try a noodle a fish like that.

of course it was released back into the wild.. unless you had a cabelas next door that wanted to stick it in an aquarium for some $$$ and it's  not like your going to mount it.. have that ugly thing on your wall.. nope.. not me.  or you gonna eat it? nope.. that thing probably swam in every toxic puddle in the river. pass on the old catfish
