Doing battle from his john boat, Biancardi navigated strong currents and submerged obstacles as the fish fought deep. After 40 “endless minutes” of this, he says, the catfish finally broke the surface.
“I was alone facing the biggest catfish I’ve seen in 23 years,” Biancardi writes. “I tried gloving its mouth 2-3 times, but it was still too strong. I decided to go in shallow water to land it from shore and after a few tries, I managed to land it!”
The angler tied up the nine-plus-foot-long monster in the shallows to let it recover. But he forgot to anchor his boat and it drifted away, forcing him to swim downriver to recover it.

It's just the angle and how he's holding it that makes it look that big.

Exactly what my ADHD arse would've done in that situation.

I've learned to appreciate my ADHD. It's a superpower.

If you hooked something like that from a kayak you would learn a lot about catfish life as that thing would drag you around for a farking week or more until you cut the line.

More impressive is he did it with a Zebco 33
In all seriousness though I would like to know what he was using. All I see is he was using a 12/0 jig head so I’m assuming some sort of salt water tackle.
