I kind of believe it. They have some big catfish species over in Europe. Catching it on rod/reel I'm not sure about that but if using ocean like tackle it would be possible. That's a giant fish.

I say BS for two reasons.

1. Wels catfish are found in Northern Italy. It's to cold up there so they don't have the l ok ng growing periods that Spanish Wels do.

2. It's Italy which means exaggeration and deception....lol

Here is a 155 pound wels catfish I caught in spain IMG_0163.JPGIMG_0163.JPG2010.
