Stephanie,

I bet that fish is bigger than you are. Well, wish your father congratulations from all of us here on the forum. As an Ichthyologist, I looked up the records for Catfish caught in Spain. The largest on record weighed 226 lbs and holds the European record. You can go to [Only Registered Users Can See Links.] and check out some of the images there.

This is an aquarium forum, and fish that large are not practical aquarium fish. I suggest using google.
