Catfish

We've been known to tell some true whoppers when it comes to fish stories involving the Mississippi River. One of the greatest of them all is the tale of the monster catfish that was so large it spit out a diver. Let's explore this legend and see how much truth lies down there.

Watch as a guy pulls a monster of a catfish out of the Missouri River just outside of the St. Louis area, I had no idea monsters like this existed in that part of the river!

I have always heard that there were monster catfish lurking in the Mississippi River, but never had the joy of landing one. I was able to find several videos proving the local legend is indeed true.
