A few days ago, an angler posted a video showing him in a wide stretch of water, where Lua arrived at a huge native catfish. Watching the video shows that it is speculated that the fish should have a 50-60 pound appearance. Looking at the appearance and tentacles of catfish, it should be native catfish. But it is not the earth catfish that we northern anglers often see, but the southern catfish. #Fishing ##钓鱼头条 #
The fisherman's self-report said: using 0.8 PE line, 2.5 lead, No. 7 lead hook, fighting wits for more than an hour, successfully landed. But to tell the truth, this set of line sets to catch such a large catfish, is really quite powerful, a little careless will cut the line.
Finally, after measurement, this catfish is 1.45 meters long and weighs 62 pounds, and some anglers say that this is the largest "catfish king" caught in the local area.
If the catfish were earth catfish, it would have set a record. Because in the current records, the largest catfish is 5-6 pounds. However, it seems that although this is also a native catfish, it is not a catfish but a southern catfish. The largest record of the southern catfish can reach more than 60 kg.
Of course, some kinds of foreign catfish can grow into larger individuals, and there is a program called "Challenge giant" in which there are many videos of fishing for giant catfish. Two of the most famous are the Giant Catfish of Southeast Asia, also known as the "Mekong Giant Catfish", distributed in the Mekong River Basin, which is mainly concentrated between Thailand and Laos. Giant catfish can grow up to more than 2 meters long and weigh more than 400 pounds. In 2005, Thailand caught a catfish 2.7 metres long and weighing 293 kilograms, the largest catfish ever recorded.
The other is the European giant catfish, also known as the "six-whiskered catfish", a catfish commonly found in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, which is found in the large lakes and rivers of Europe where the water is not urgent. The body length is generally about 5 meters, with a lifespan of 80 years, and the weight can grow to more than 200 pounds.
However, domestic catfish are much slimmer, and the southern catfish is one of the giants. In reality, catfish are very widely distributed in China, except for the western plateau region, all waters in the country have catfish distribution, but the south is now mostly leather-bearded catfish (exotic species), and the north is mostly earth catfish.
Of course, to tell the truth, as a foodie, I feel that the taste of catfish is better than that of southern catfish and Qingjiang fish, and there is nothing wrong with it except that the price is expensive. That does not want to spend money to do, it is difficult to stop the angler, a word "fishing".
I use a hand rod more, recommend a set of configurations, look at the size of the catfish in the water configuration line group, generally is more than 5 PE line, Hercules can also be, is such as black drift. If the fish hook is a catfish caught in the north for 1-3 pounds, it is enough to use a 10-gauge Isena.
Bait with chicken liver is the best, fishing position to choose inlet, or more stones, the terrain is complex, the water quality is best to choose turbid waters. Of course, if it is only for the sake of catching fish, you can tie a multi-point line group, hang chicken liver and throw it in the river at night, and come back in the morning to get it, such as catfish, turtles, turtles, blackfish, carp, crucian carp can be caught.
As for the fish caught by this angler, the decision to release or not to release is up to him, after all, this is not a national protected animal.
