drzachary Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 You wouldn't eat it? I'd buy a second freezer, get a few friends and a band saw, filet the sonofabitch and slice it up into porterhouse-esque steaks and freeze them. Imagine how good a 3" thick steak of catfish could be, or maybe thinner slices breaded and dropped into an enormous deep-fryer, with grits and some kind of cream sauce. Them's good eatin'! I like how the wildlife preservation folks "negotiated for its release" like he was a hostage Which.. I guess he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Wretch Posted June 30, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I could catch fish and eat 'em all day. And while I love wildlife, I'm not one of those fanatical types that'll chains themselves onto a tree. I just think...if you find something special like that, why not keep it alive? Put it on display for people to see... Or at the very least make some money off of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Before they could get it released it died......imagine that, you leave the big bastard laying out on a tarp in the sun without being in water and it dies.....heres your sign. You had to know that a bunch of starvin marvins would find a way to get to eat that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominiqueWilkins Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 You beat me to posting this article, congrads, and congrads to the ones who caught the fish. Amazing how big that cat fish is. and they say we should be scared of Sharks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudzu23 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Here's one they caught at a lake near where I live a few weeks ago.. http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_52723.asp http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_62880.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 You wouldn't want to eat a catfish that size. Catfish are the scavengers of the lakes. They eat all the excrement of other fish and all the crap that is at the bottom of the lake. The bigger they are, the more crap they have ingested. That catfish probably tasted like pure mud.

Premium Member Diesel Posted July 11, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 My question is how did they catch this one... No lb test line will get that up. I think it must have been netted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted July 12, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 But the question is can you find a farm-raise catfish this large? Speaking of which, I remember when I was much younger, I would go fishing with my father to a place in GA that was called "the catfish hole" or something like that. It was not really sport because it was this big hole filled with farmed raised catfish and if you just put your line in the water, you'd get to fight with a real catfish.... Then you'd go and pay by the pound.... I thought I was really fishing! Anyway, does anybody know of a place that fits this description? I believe it may have been in the Lagrange area??

Plainview1981 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Personally, I always disliked fishing and more so hunting. It always seemed lame to me to kill animals from a tree stand. Alittle off topic, but I just felt like ranting abit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
