Anglers reel in massive catfish, breaking records in Italy and Pennsylvania.
TL;DR
A 9-foot-long catfish has been caught in Italy by Alessandro Biancardi, a member of the Madcat Italy fishing team, which could possibly break the world record. The fish measured over 112 inches, or just over 9 feet long. Biancardi decided not to weigh the fish out of fear of the stress it could cause the huge animal, and decided to instead release it back into the river "hoping it could give another angler the same joy he gave to me."
