Iranian River Monster

my 90 pound wells from a trip back to the old country 5 years ago. Not the biggest fish caught that trip, just my biggest fish. Iran's got a few secrets that have nothing to  do with weapons of mass destruction.

On that trip there were 4 big wells catfish, the smallest was 70 pounds, the largest was 160. We also caught a bunch of 15 pound and under babies, barbel, pike-perch (Eurasian Walleye) and black fish. I hope things get better in Iran so I can go back and do it again.

Agreed.  Great to see another side to fishing from half way around the world.  I think the "old " look to the photo adds a bit of charm to it as well.
