Kitten i caught last summer, had bigger but no pics. My mate has had them to 175lb, also had another 174lber. Thats about 10 foot long, my one prob only weighed 15-18lb. Same day I caught that my mate had a 59lber which towed the boat around the lake while I was pi$$ing myself on the bank

Yeah, nearly as ugly as me. Once out the water they dont move which is very unusual for fish. Unlike the sharks I caught on sat, they try and wrap their selfs round ya and rip ya skin off and the bigger ones try and big ya

My dads a really keen fishermen an is going away to spain next year an loves these fish an i already got a channel in the pond.

if you want your channel cat to live then dont get a wels he will just eat everything,and i do believe you need a license to keep one as they are capable of inflicting catastrophic damage to native species if introduced,i can probably get you a gigas though????
05-06-2007

you would need to heat the pond for the gigas!!!!! but the effect would be the same (everything else would be food)

iv seen gigas in with redtail cats ect no probs it just the size they get i dont think you will get them that easy they are cites but let us know if you do as id like one for my pond
06-06-2007

can i assume you have an indoor pond?

i can get gigas as they are on cites2 but i would need to buy a hundred to make it worthwhile
06-06-2007

gigas shouldnt be imported let alone kept. Red tails shouldnt let alone them

what fish should be kept ware do we start and finish and yes i do have heated pond i wish i had done this years ago save a mint on tanks thinking on number 2 now when i clear the place i want to put it . and as long as the wholesalers keep buying red tails from the importers they will still be ship over and the shops for buying them are at fault .

hi used to buy fish from impoter mostly rays L no plecs knife fish and you dont have to bring in 100 a time as long as you order enough to fill a box it cost about £60.00 to ship them over and the fish are peanuts as you proberly no if you get the list
