Ever hear about the Giant European Wels catfish? These have grown as large as 600 lbs. or more. With some nearing 1000 lbs. a possibility.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

I haven't seen the catfish, but I've seen the Pike that go over a hundred pounds.

 

I've seen some stories and pictures of Northerns like that in an old "In-Fisherman" magazine that I still have somewhere. Big European Northern Pike.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

yeah one day im going to go to canada and pack a quad and head out and catch one of them monster pikes

 

We grow some pretty big whitetails 'round these parts too. I hate hearing hunters say their dream whitetail hunt would be in Texas. Those deer down there field dress about what........100 lbs?

 

I know what your saying. There are some monster bucks in Texas, but they are small in body. I have noticed that they are getting bigger in the body though, seems the suppliments are not only producing large racks, but also good sized deer as a whole. I think my dream hunt for whitetail would be up in Canada some where. I just dont like to hunt deer in weather that requires t-shirts. Temps around 20-30 are what I like to hunt in.

 

i agree MD, there are big bucks in alot of the the states they hide alot tho, i'd like to go hunt in canada some where....

 

Maybe we can get someone on here to invite us up to hunt, then we can return the favor. That would be sweet!

 

I would like to visit B.C.

 

Their was a catfish caught in Thailand recently that weighed 646 lbs. IT is on the espn.com site under outdoor news. Having trouble creating the link. check it out.
