Monster catfish which looks big enough to swallow a man whole caught in Italy

The giant fish, which weighed 20 stone, was caught by twin brothers Dino and Dario Ferrari in northern Italy

Yes, came across that and wondered if these fish are dangerous. Its not a big step for a fish that size to take from having an appetite for a duck to acquiring one for your foot - being flesh eaters

Good to see it was released back into the water, some aquarists make the mistake of adding them to their aquariums whist very young but they soon outgrow even the largest of tanks.

In North America there are Channel Catfish they can grow to become very large as well. There are several South American species of catfish and other types as well that grow very large. I've heard there are a rivers in Spain and Portugal with large cats.

Fairly interesting show(though it gets a little silly with the stories) about large fresh water fish River Monsters
