I am almost positive that the Hudson River would make him as big as my car.

Then you could wear scuba gear and tie yourself to him and go for a ride.

theres some big hydro electric generators out in Kansas from the nuclear plant and suposedly there are catfish in the 1500 lb range living by the outlets, not because they are in nuclear plants - - -the water coming out of them is very warm all year so it's like the land of the lost for them year round temp year round food and they just sit on the bittom eating

It would be cool to scuba dive there and see what's growing. I was watching the Planet Earth DVD series with my son and there are 2 metre long salamanders in South America somewhere. At least I think it was in South America. They live for like 70 years or something too.

1500, 80+ lb catfish. Is that for 1 fish or a combined total weight? I've caught a 3 lb and thought I really had something.

no thats 1500 lbs for one fish .........looks like a VW bettle with eyes and wiskers, lol

ive seen a 650 lb cat from that lake

the story goes that a diver working on one of the hydro- generator return tubes went down to investigate a blockage actually swam into the fish head first up to his shoulders before he realized it wasn't a tube he was in [it's dark brackish nasty colored water} - -i guess from the shear size they get they realy don't move they just lay on the bottom with their mouths open and the water just pumps through em and they end up looking all deformed and shit like jaba the hut because they never swim......who knows....it was in the paper and i talked to a couple of maintinence guys , i worked on the fuel system for their site trucks a few time when i was in the petro industry} but like i said I've never seen one that big .........just the 650 pounder. if you eat catfish you know the meat off the head {skull steak} is the best and this bad boy eneded up with like a 15 lb steak off his skull {HUGE !!!!!}

might just be an urban leagend....lol
