There have been more than 25 catfish over 200 lbs from the Seagre/Ebro around Mequinenza in the last 12 months with the largest over 225 lbs.
A length of 9 feet for a fish of 203lb would make it a very long fish indeed. My biggest from that area cauight in October last year went 155 lb for a length of 7 feet 4 inches.
The two of them dont look very alive to me!
Are you suggesting Frank sacked one while he landed the other so they could then be photographed together? I think not.
Stringing was the method used when I was there a couple of years ago and as I understood it it is illegal to kill your catch in Ebro. As Gary points out catfish at that size dont move on land.
