  • Holy shit my baby cat fish is small right now but u telling me that it can grow to that size ??????!!!!:(

  • Almost the size of our mud cat on our pond

  • there is no way i would travel half way around the world to a mosquito infested shit hole just to catch fucking catfish, nor could i spend a whole day stuck on a boat with somebody who has an accent like that, somebody would end up going overboard and it wouldn't be me, i can catch meter long "fish" in the park behind my house, i'll stay right here thank-you.

  • @NATIVE2OZ 3 foot fish in a park pond? your a fucking dumbass. and accent? im from kansas and he didnt have an accent. mexicans and british people have the annoying accents were just good ole boys that would whoop your ass anyday. damned city slicker.

  • @emoislame23 The meter long fish in the park are only carp but ther're better sport than catfish, and of course tough guy you can whip anybodys ass from behind your computer

  • i am fishing here in bolivia an a catfish snapped my uncles 95 pound line and another guys 100 pound line

  • hum hIhi i uploaded a new pic any Guys want to chat and maybe more

  • love his accent LMFAO

  • @aotearoastyle Banning people from keeping fish is pretty damn lame, but there's at least a tiny bit of noticeable logic to it. Banning people from fishing altogether is literally a declaration of war.

  • name this fish: JAÙ.

  • @aotearoastyle I dont overfish sir. I follow all the regulations set by the DNR. Ive yet to reach my daily bag limit. And the more fresh caught fish i eat, the less i buy from the store, which is ocean fishing where there are issues with overfishing.

  • This Fish is PIRARA ... from Brazil my from ;D

  • damn they are really big...i have one baby one in my 55 gallon

  • blueinu26 it's been my experience that catfish if properly cleaned and cooked is all mighty tasty reguardless of the size. Come catch a mess with me and bring some beer for the fish fry.

  • check out my catfishing videos

  • Catfish that size are not good to eat. Very rough almost as if you are trying to eat a tire.

  • True. what the guides did was tie the fish up behind base camp boat on a 6 foot line, where theres a good current. Tied up, the fish has to work to keep from drowning, they keep him tied up for 2-3 days where he works some fat off, so they say, then they clean him to feed many guides and nativesr. They do not waste anything on the river

  • I've caught bigger cat-fish than that little thing here in nacogdoches, Tx and sam rayburm lake! :)

  • Red Tailed Catfish looks likeits on steroids or working out lately...

  • y u huffing and puffing from the work you didnt do u just unhooked it off the line

  • I've had an 80kg mekong cat on a rod. If you dont run out of line you can catch just about anything. I catch red tails up to 20kg in thailand. very strong fish but the mekong has more stamina than the red tail. piraiba is a better cat down there

  • that cat looks like the one at cabela's in Buda, Tx

  • Comment removed

  • hey, that's a nice fish, please check out the Me Kong River giant Catfish in Cambodia, is 10X the size of the red tail. Can't catch one with a rod.

  • we have a red tail cat fish in the fish shop i work in, its 3 inch long lol, and thats what it grows to, insane!

  • WOW!!awesome fish!

  • i gots to breath... lol...

  • fyi - they were limb lines, sing. hook, not multi- hook lines....Everything we do up there is catch and release, but, some fish the guides chose to keep to feed themsleves as well as others.

    The guides live for that river. They take only what they need. I respect that.

    RD

  • @AMAZONDAVE Where is the sport in limb lines???

  • thats an nice red tail cat.. you can easily sell atleast 10k wt that size

  • you must go back and try harder coz there are much bigger ones!!!!! that river is BIG and if the river is BIG there must be bigger FISH

  • what do u do with em

  • big ol sun dog yeee hooooooo pass me whiskey ranger dave

  • Comment removed

  • belly meat off the red tail is as good as blue quail long live the republic of TEXAS

  • Fake Fish???

  • That Catfish Is beautifel

  • holy smoke thats a BIG fish.

    by the way i'm from brazil!!!

  • peta is a joke, first rule of getting people to live that way is to ban or try to ban wat their doing? thats just gonna piss us good ol' boys off! make it illegal idc I'll still hunt and fish.

  • Can you catch these fish and take em home to eat or something?

    Is it illegal?

  • yes you can eat them and no it is not illegal

  • how are big red tail cats on the rod?

  • cat fish bark irnic isnt it

  • hey pass along this message. the more outdoorsmen that know bout this the better! We need tofight this until peta ofinally stops trying to take away our sport. If they dont wanna do it....good for them but dont try to mess up my life by getting rid of my sport.!

  • Has anyone heard about PETA's newest bullcrap thing. They are calling fish sea kittens to deter people from eating and catching fish. They are trying to get fishing banned. Outdoorsmen need to do everything in our power to stop PETA. I know this sounds really stupid but i checked and its on PETA's website. Check it out and see how dumb it really is!

  • some do let the fish go, I eat mine food is food and it gotta be better the pestacides/growth hormones we all are being feed.

  • its imposible to ban fishing cause if you have a property whats are they gonna do use helicopters or shoot you if you fish from ur boat?

  • try catch a more big fish dude....

  • Okay, this is the deal on this fish. We are fishing way up the Unini River, very remote region . Everything we do up there is catch and release, but, some fish the guides chose to keep to feed themsleves as well as others. The guides live for that river. They take only what they need.

    If someone has a problem with that then I might ask" what do you eat everyday?"

    RD

  • thank you btw i ate some catfish haha

  • lol omg i catch 80 pound alp cat fish in texas on the red river every year on my drop lines

  • Your cookies in the mail sir,

  • try catching a fish as big as that man ... you won't feel your arm after reeling that whale in

  • How do you know they didn't? Just because the video doesn't show them releasing it, doesn't mean that they kept it. Notice that they were taking pictures with it. The only reason for that would be to prove that they did catch it, and why would they need proof of the catch if they were going to take the body back with them anyway? Don't jump to conclusions just because you didn't see them release it. Same goes for all the other people spouting off about "catch and release, catch and release!"

  • that is 1 big motha!

  • hahaha that was funny

  • The Fish is a Pirarara

  • I think you mean Piraiba, if I'm not mistaken.

  • that was a small fish

  • ya right

  • i wanna see someone go noodling for those big bastards hahaha

  • 'I GOT A SNAKE IN MA BOOTS!'

  • Let me explain. When you put a limb line in waters you have never fished before and the natives speek of 1000# monster catfish. You rig up for the monster fish. I had know idea what we might catch, sure a smaller rig would have worked for this redtail in the vid. However my main line was broken (600#) by who knows what. so you might say my rig was to small. It would be nice to know the exact size and species you would catch and rig appropately.I choose to rig for the biggest fish and hang on.

  • EMO go to peta

  • the tackle seems a bit over the top, in the uk we use 20lb line for 80lb cats and that hook is blatantly not necessary, at 2.07 you can clearly see the hook point and barb poking out the fish's eye socket, a much smaller hook would have done. even for 500lb fish 100lb line would surely do? and a smaller hook unless you know its gonne be over 150lb

  • thats the biggest red tail ive ever seen, i have one in my fish tank thats like 17 inches lol

  • That some nice fish! When I was a kid we would go to Lake Texoma and fish for big cat fish in entertubes. They would pull you around you had to wear them down. Fun

  • i dont know if i would want to there are so many things that can hurt you bad

  • WHY?

  • i always release what i am not consuming..never eaten a cat that big...60lb channel cat biggest i ever caught..i weigh 100 lbs..lol...released...

  • its a big fich man i have cats this day a pike from 150centimeter im serius

  • DId that redneck said 500 pound line??? to catch the fish which is way under 500 pound?? what a overkill...

  • I was fishing for a 501 pounder. fool! lol

  • lol i know i caught an atleast 60 pound sailfish on about 18 pound test, but since catfish like to stay on the bottom idk if u need heavy line to pump them up...

  • think about it thats nothing compared to the AMAZON and other places that are filled with unexplained creatures and things that have been around longer than your granny's mothers mother yet to be discovered it never ends just like us humans and other life forms in other places in the universe.

  • im from nac

  • big ole redtail man1 thats huge!!!!

  • wow, i actually feel sry for the catfish, it was moaning. :(

  • AMAZING!!! There are more species of fish in the Amazon River than all the oceans combined!

  • nice

  • You need to exercise to expand your lungs that way you wont have to moan

  • that was the catfish moaning

  • wow how big is it?

  • we guessed about 80 pounds

    RD

  • Who care's they do it for the ratings n all..

    These guys do it for the sport n heart of it..

  • thrice the rice

  • boat

  • i was on a bout fishing and i hada scanner and i swear to got a freggin fish half the screen was right under or it might of ben a alligator but it was hudge!!!!

  • yea, i farm catfish and sell them to pounds.

    but when i cought my first few catfish thay had thare first batch of babies. i put one im my fish tank, it toke him about 8 months to get from 4in - 2 feet.

  • i wonder what eats that!

  • the idiot rednecks that caught it..

  • can I use the posion from their spikes on my arrows?

  • iv seen a bigger 1

  • me to but it swam away

  • This is a Red Tail catfish, very popular in the stats to aquarium enthusiasts. You can buy them as juveniles, and they are only like 2-3 inches long, but they grow VERY fast. As you can see with the size of this fish, you would need to have an aquarium minimum of 600 gallons to start, and after about 5-7 years you wouldnt be over doing it if you had a tank in the range of 3 to 5 thousand gallons.

  • Man! That is some big catfish! Bigger than any I've ever seen in Mississippi, Tennessee, or Alabama!

  • It's been reported that they will reach 700 pounds...I've seen some fish roll in remote lagoons that sounded like a mac truck just busted water...I am talking about a huge splash that was as big as a car...no joke. Could have been Pearacu or giant Catfish, was not a gator...this was a monster fish

    Land of Oz, the Amazon, Land of Oz

    Crazy

    RD

  • 700, huh? And this one was only 80!

  • Capt. Kirk himself is the biggest fish!

  • capt. Kirk lol

  • that is an awesome fish

  • did you guys keep any?

  • what do people usually with the fish after they take pictures with it? i mean they wouldn't eat that huge fish would they?

  • they do in fact eat fish this big. most the time(99%)we release all fish alive. All trophy fish are relaesed alive for sure. When fishing some of the really remote areas food supply can be limted at times so harvesting a fish like this a welcome site for the guides and some of the remote villages we might encounter.

    This is the way of the river

    I know there are some that dont understand this but that's okay, this is the way it is in this part of the World.

  • dude open your eyes, while you are crossing small rivers and there are trees at the rigth and the left a jaguar could jump and eat you its not a joke!

  • i think those guys where hill billys loooool!!!

    (JK)

  • Looks like one, don't it?

  • typical yanks, why dont you use lighter gear and give the fish a chance. Using metal cable and 500lb line...idiots

  • go for their necks. :)

  • My uncle's friend caught a 65 pound catfish :o.

  • bring a gun :DDDDDD

  • 70-80lbs catfish? I'm not a big fisherman by any means, but I think that is a beautiful catch by any definition. The Amazon is a wonderful place to see wildlife.

  • ive caught bigger with my hand

  • man thats a bigass fish holy shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HOLY CRAP THAT THING IS HUGE!!!!

  • You guys are idiots ... those are beautiful fish. You should be practicing catch and release.

  • as you might have seen on other posts...the guides live off the river...most the fish we catch we do release, some we keep to feed the guides, their familes, and even us when we are there....idiots we are not...if you had been going to the Amazon for the last ten years like I have you might understand

    RD

  • Jau' Catfish, known to attack waders.

    RD

  • lol no i am serious there is a tiny fish that you can't see that swims up your pee into your bladder. you think nothing of it 2 weeks later you get horrible stomach pains because the fish exspands inside your bladder

  • Ive heard of it before, Its called the penisfish right?

  • Called a Candiru Catfish. They stay in the urethera and don't expand at first but rather hook on to the inside with backwards curving fangs. Don't naturally attack hmans, they aim for gills of fish but mess up.

  • Lol i call BS on ricflair1

  • these guys have really thick accents - where are they from?

  • Matt's from East Texas, Capt Kirk is from South Texas

    RD

  • they can grow 3 meters --> monsters

    only one sweet waterfish grows bigger

  • poor cat.. if its the right species they sell these guys down the street from me THIS BIG ALREADY! im not joking. they have some tiny ones a inch or so. amazon fishes are awesome for fish tanks. its ridiculous how big they grow. you dont expect them to get 5 times the size of the tank you put them in haha.

  • I've seen one twice as big as the one they caught.

  • man thats a big f***ing catty before i die i have to go fish there

  • why is it making that sound?!?!

  • its air being released from the air bladder

  • check out HUNT FOR BIG FISH up on youtube, this guy caught over a 400 lb catfish! and released it! check it out. Search for the biggest catfish ever caught off line, you will find it easy

  • I hope they let him go after this, or at least they better made a really good stew with it

  • not even a catfish but a Catshark

  • holy.....it wud be awesome to see tht fish in a big aquarium

  • People keep Red Tailed Catfish in Aquariums but most people can't keep them as they do grow that size.

  • yea i kno...thts y i said if they had one that size...tht wud be totally AWESOME....dont u think?? ^_^

  • They do in large aquariums (such as public ones.)

  • i like the way the fish talk! i mean like when is breathing!
