Italia: nuevo récord de siluro?

Pescando en el Delta del Po, Dino Ferrari capturó un siluro enorme de 127 kg , que posiblemente sea el más grande jamás capturado con caña.

Italian fisherman Dino Ferrari with his 280-pound wels catfish from the Po Delta. It might be a world record on rod and reel. The fish was caught on the Po Delta, a part of the famous Po River, the longest river in Italy at more than 400 miles.

The catfish was weighed at 280 pounds

The River Delta is known for monster cattfish, but anything bigger than 6.5 feet is extremely rare, and this one measured 8.8 feet. The U.K. Mirror reported that Ferrari’s fish could possibly be the world’s biggest wels catfish caught with a rod and reel, though records of this sort are difficult to confirm. Sportex Italia, Ferrari’s sponsor, called his fish the “world record spinning torpedo,” which might mean it’s a world record for a Torpedo spinning rod made by an Italian manufacturer, without doubt Ferrari’s fish is one of the biggest wels catfish recorded in recent history. After weighing the wels catfish, Dino and Dario Ferrari released the beast back into the Delta. The wels catfish is the second-largest freshwater fish in its region, ranking behind the beluga sturgeon. The largest beluga sturgeon on record is reportedly 3,463 pounds. The fight from a boat lasted 40 minutes. The Italian team were delighted to catch the fish and released it back into the delta so it could fight again another day. Who knows who will catch it again?
