Lucky Fisherman Catches Record-Breaking 9-Foot-Long Catfish and Almost Lost His Boat in the Process

Quote:
10 witnesses saw the wels catfish measured at 9 feet, 4.4 inches long. This qualified the fish for the International Game Fish Association all-tackle world record. Naturally, Biancardi was interested in the weight of the massive fish but he worried about the safety of the catfish.

He explains, “I was very curious about the weight, but I feared stressing it too much, that rare specimen, so I decided to safely release it, hoping it could give another angler the same joy he gave me”. Biancardi shared the entire experience on his Instagram. This catch was his dream come true. The fisherman stated, “After years of constant dedication, I managed to make a dream come true”.
