How can it be a world record?
The one in the video is a baby compared to this one.

The giant catfish (Pangasianodon gigas), which grows to 10 feet long and 650 pounds, is a migratory species in the rivers of Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. It has been a mainstay for local fishers for centuries.

World record for that species of catfish, not all catfish in general.

Yeah Dred, that one of yours wasn't even of legal limit.

Tried watching the video, but the narrator talks as if he's drunk.

Perhaps the sponsor of that video will include "I like watching videos of catfish" as a 30th "axis of compatability" to match me to someone.
I live in fear of this happening.

should have thrown that catfish back in the water. Excellent gene pool.

I read a essay in Missouri Outdoors that said fish of this size were quite common 100/150 years ago, but the constant fishing for them is not allowing them to get to this size anymore. The guy caught this on trot lines he set out the night before. Which IMO is not really fishing. He might as well of just used a net. But that's what they do along the river down there. :frown:

You know, world record (meaning in the US) :rofl
I remember watching the world champion Chicago Bulls a lot a while back :rofl

Where did you get that from? The video sure sounds like they got it on hook and line, and to be a WR for the IGFA or FWFHOF it has to be by hook and line.

"Set the hook on 'im"
Sounds like Hook and Line to me. You don't set the hook with trot lines, the fish does that itself.

Hey wildcat, i think that fish would solve your fish fry problem in August :rofl

Hey wildcat, i think that fish would solve your fish fry problem sometime in Autumn :rofl
Now it is correct

It was on the news here last night. The video does say that he set the hook, but I understood him saying he caught it on a trot line too. :headscratch:
I just went back and looked at the news clip from last night and he caught the thing on rod and reel afterall :rock
