I know many of you folks don’t think much of the History Channel but hey, when it’s the only halfway watchable thing on the TV on Xmas Day, you gotta stare at something.
daHubby and I saw a program last night about giant fish (Monster Quest?). Now, I’m not talking about a big trout. I’m talking a 40 yr old, five and a half feet long fish. With 6 inch long teeth and a mouth big enough to take your leg off up to the hip. And then I hear there’s supposedly 600 lb catfish out there somewhere.
I’ve seen pretty sizable specimens of pike, gar, muskie and catfish at zoos and was impressed (and somewhat skeered) of how big they were. The thought that they can get bigger… :eek:
What in the world do you do with a fish that big if you managed to land it? It can’t be edible and getting it stuffed/mounted would be a pretty penny, not to mention having to find a wall in your house big enough to display this monster!!
