Catching BIG Catfish in Austria

Update! They caught another one.

The picture below shows a catfish we caught with a Partridge X1BL Size 3/0! We fought about ten minutes (changing the rod every now and then) and the cat was hooked only 18 feet below the boat! The fish was caught six hours before it was weighed at 99lbs and 1.5oc with a lenght of 195cm (about 6 feet)!!!!

Place of capture was one of the big Austrian lakes. As the fish was being presented several times d this first six hours for pictures to be taken, it probably cracked the magic "100" at the time of capture!

X1 Grey Shadow 3/0 is the best catfish hook in the world!!

many, many thanks
