My parents took me to see the fish, which was on display in a chest freezer in a store in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Fisherman lands 19 STONE catfish which could be biggest in world to be hooked A fisherman has reeled in a monster 19 stone catfish, which could be the biggest in the world caught with a rod and reel. Dino Ferrari hooked the whopper wels catfish, which was 2.67m in length, last week in the Po Delta in Italy. While the fish might set a new record for the biggest caught on a line, it is far from the heaviest ever landed. The biggest was 22st and 2.78m long, and was also from the Po Delta.
