I’ve heard stories of St. Louis police looking on the bottom of the Mississippi river for weapons and encountering catfish that are so big they just sit on the bottom with their mouths open and catch whatever comes along. I think I remember the stories saying these fish were over 12’ long. Does anyone have anything that confirms these fish stories?

I have heard the same from recovery divers in the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers in SE Ohio.

I have heard these stories from divers in Lakes Whitney and Travis, nobody can produce fish or pictures. I say Baloney!

Now, I have seen with my own eyes 200+ lb. Gar way over 6 ft.
