A giant catfish that can swallow an entire man has been caught in Italy.
The huge wels catfish, which measured almost 9 feet long and weighed
127 kilograms, was caught on February 19 by twin brothers Dino and Dario
Ferrari.
They used a rod and a line to catch the creature, according to Sportex Italia.
Their fight with "the monster of the Po River," as dubbed by Italian
media, lasted for 40 minutes before the fish was finally reeled in.
The Ferrari brothers weighed and photographed it before releasing it back into the river.
Dino Ferrari believes that based on its size, the fish is around 30 years old.
Guinness World Records has yet to verify if the fish is the biggest of its species ever caught alive.
