Jo Gunthner left a comment for paul"Hi Paul,
That is a very impressive fish. Not sure what you have, but looks like some kind of cat fish. What is it and how long did it take to get it on shore. How much did it weigh? It must be good eating because you have two???"

- Hi Jo, they are European catfish or wels (silurus glanis) there are a few different fish in the photo's so no precise time duration of the fights. It use to take me about 45minutes but I had some rods built and they have helped get the fight down to about 20 minutes now. I dont eat them. All the fish in the photo's are still alive. Off camera are buckets of water to keep them cool and moist. Often the fish are laid on tarp sheets to avoid removing their slime and to give them some protection. Once they have been weighed, measured and photographed they are carefully released.
