Do big fish taste good?
How big should a pond be to realisticly keep em?

>>2436478
River monster is pretty good, desu.

>>2436486
Depends on the fish.
Speaking from experience, once catfish get over 3-4lbs they taste like shit.
Now the fish in OP is pretty tasty from what I've heard. They are practically big, boneless, fish steaks.

According to my country's obsessive anglers and rural folk, we allegedly have giant catfish the size of small cars roaming around deep inland waters of the US. Y'all believe this hype?

National Geographic has a knock-off called Monster Fish, though the host's personality is different. He's cheerful.

Yeah I guess the host on River Monsters is more neutral. He does look very interested and awed everytime, though.

I've seen some obscenely large catfish in lake erie.
They do taste bad though.

Jeremy Wade is a very interesting bloke,you should read up on him.
My dream fishing trip would be to fish the gulf stream off of Bimini with Jeremy Wade, Ernest Hemingway, and David Attenborough.

Reading his book is hella interesting, though it shows you how much drama he fakes and forces into the show.
