I have lots of fond memories of going fishing with my dad. I remember getting our gear together, finding the perfect place off the river, and then waiting…
…and waiting…
…and waiting…
…and then usually getting bored after an hour.
I have admiration for the men and women who have the patience to make fishing their primary pastime or hobby. It takes lots of patience and lightning-quick reflexes. Sometimes you leave empty-handed, and sometimes you leave with the bragging rights of getting an enormous catch.
Recently, an Italian fisherman published photos on Facebook of his amazing catch of a record-breaking 280-pound catfish.
Fishermen are notorious for their tall tales about fishing and exaggerating the size of their catches, so this man better be glad that he had someone there to photograph the proof. I definitely had no idea that catfish could even grow to such a size!
Please SHARE these absolutely incredible photos, especially if you know someone who loves fishing!
