Giant Catfish Caught in Lake TexomaNetlore Archive: Emailed photo of a huge catfish supposedly caught in Lake Texoma, TexasDescription: Emailed image
Urban legend has it that man-eating catfish the size of Volkswagens have been sighted near the base of dams by maintenance divers (whose hair reportedly turned white from the shock of it), but the largest specimens ever actually caught in the United States have weighed in at under 150 lbs. Update: Ownership of the above photo has been claimed by angler Lucas van der Geest, who reports catching the 187-pound wels catfish near Po, Italy in 2003.
