Have you ever wondered what kind of creatures lurk beneath the surface of the water? Well, a fishermen in Italy found out first-hand when they caught a massive catfish that had people amazed!
Benjamin Gründer was fishing in the Po River when he felt a tug on his line that seemed much stronger than any fish he had ever caught before. He initially thought he had hook a branch or something else under the water, but when the “branch” started to move, he knew he was in for a surprise!
For 45 minutes, Gründer battled with the mystery creature on his line, until he finally reeled it in. To his amazement, it was a huge catfish measuring about 9 feet and weighing around 300 pounds! The catch was so large that many believe it to be a record-breaking catch.
Unfortunately, Benjamin released the catfish before it could be weighed, byt it was still an incredible experience for Gründer and his fellow fishermen to witness such a magnificent creature. Luckily he captured the whole thing on video!
