I have seen people catch 6 foot plus Cat's on tv. They were almsot 200 pounds. So Flathead Cat's do get big for sure. Also my grandpa told me that some body found a huge skeliton on a sand bar on the wisconson river and they called the DNR and they found out it was a sturgeon that measured 15 ####ing feet long!!! Hell you can't even get that thing in the boat.
Also do you guys have any links or anything to this Catfish the size of cars thing that gives proof of catfish the size of Cars. Also you guys probably want to know where my Grandpa found out about a 15 foot sturgeon. He told me he read it in the news paper. Also I guess it makes a lot of sense that these Catfish are in these dams and all the food jsut flows down to them. I bet you all thsoe big Catfish do is eat like none stop their whole life. I know asain and african Cats have been said to grow to 600-800 pounds but I never herd about american cat's growing as big as trucks or having fins 5-6 feet long. I was thinking Mabey the fish there seeing are not from america and got in are waters on a mistake or mabey we just aren't seeing any Catfish and there just huge Aligator Gar or mabey eel or even sturgoen. These stories puzzle me. Some I have a really hard time believing but others I don't.
The sturgeon caught in Iran and Russia for caviar get even bigger at times from what I've read.
A 15 footer isn't hard to believe at all.
