After 14 years as a ranger doing a water bailifs job at two small fishing lakes I've heard and seen some interesting things esp where matches, prize money and newspaper notariety were concerned. I kept a strict eye on the rules and regs and suspected cheating and didn't earn the nickname 'Ironknickers' for nothing

Well it wouldn't be the first time someone had released something into the wild though the story was plausible but only in summer mind some could survive possibly..

Found these details on BIG catfish in Spain
World Record wels catfish caught from Spain's River Ebro
By Angling Times
Fish Catches
15 September 2009 14:24
Frenchman Christophe Dubreuil has obliterated the world Wels catfish record with the capture of a 246lb 14oz specimen from Spain’s River Ebro.
The huge predator, which measured 250cm long and is the largest coarse fish ever caught on rod and line anywhere in Europe, beats the previous catfish record by more than 20lb and fell to a large pellet hookbait fished from the boat of French guide Claude Valette operating out of Mequinenza.
“The fight was long and hard, which indicated it was a big fish.
“Once it was beaten it took me six attempts to get a good enough hold of its lower jaw to glove it out. It was so heavy I needed Christophe’s help to bring the fish on to the boat,” guide Claude told Angling Times.
In the past there have been plenty of claims relating to the capture of bigger European cats, including a rumoured 674lb, 405cm fish from the Dniepr River in Russia, but hard evidence has been thin on the ground.
Looks like it might be time to get a bigger boat!
