Nateraz Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hey all, haven’t posted in a while but I’ve been fishing, finally caught something worth posting while I was in europe, I got this wels catfish on a no name brand 8” soft swimmer with a 12/0 weighted beast hook. The hook held up like a champ, fish was 195cm, just under the 2 meter mark. I still have a bit of time here so I hope to break that 2 meter mark! P.S: For reference of size I am 210 pounds and 6’3” hahaha VAngler, JoshPerkins802, zsneezes and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishDr Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 So awesome! I’m guessing that was right around 95-100 lbs? Wels are hands down my favorite freshwater fish to throw swimbaits at. Which country did you catch her in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishDr Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Nice! I’ve caught all of mine 2 - 2.5 h WNW of Barcelona in Spain. We normally run into the odd big Zander as well; did you get any of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPerkins802 Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Any where near Marseille? I think that's how its spelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Zander, the lake doesn’t have really big Zander in it and I’m using a pretty large sized bait, no pike either surprisingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The river Rhône is right by marseille, it’s got lots of catfish. Not very good shore fishing on the rivers though, a wise investment would be a float tube if you end up wanting to have a better chance at a fish Edited August 3, 2018 by Nateraz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
