Unless you're planning a trip to the Great Kali river, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If you are, bring a friend who can't swim very well.

Don't forget to bring along the stereotypically smug british man to use as a secondary decoy. :naughty:

Long pork catfish? MMMMMMMMM!

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Ya know, lots of people sell beginer aquarium owners certain breeds of cat fish (Red river catfish in particular) and neglect to mention they can grow to be huge.

In fact, in aquariums, it seems the cat fish and algae eaters seem to develop a taste for the slime coating on the other fish, which leads to fish genocide. My mom learned the hard way.

Also, catfish can really mess you up with their fins and junk, that's why you gotta grab 'em by the throat, well rather by the mouth, but grabbing by the throat sounds more asthetically pleasing

[wrathborne]

I remember this article, looks like these catfish have developed teeth as well - not sure how true that is though.

How reputable is this source? Cause this is kinda hard to believe.

They are fairly wicked looking (http://www.world-of-science-news.com/world-of-science-news/have-giant-indian-catfish-developed-a-taste-for-human-flesh-zooillogix/) compared to the usual rounded catfish. I doubt eating rotted carcasses is going to make them into evil vampire catfish.

Third world countries believe crap like that though. One of my elderly great aunts talks about a devil pig that would open a hole up in a riverbank near her childhood village near Piedras Negras and rise up from hell and eat corpses. She said the men would shoot at it and the bullets would go through it and not hurt it and it only came when rich or bad people died. <_< More than likely a feral hog was caught digging up a body, was shot ran away and vanished and they found a cave entrance or a big hole and it grew from there.

Don't forget, nearly all religions starts from people watching things and trying to retell what they actually saw. It's the difference between folk telling and actual truth.

That fish reminds me of something out of the Simpsons.

Oh yeah, when Homer was fishing.

Yea. If he was gonna to go there, anywayz, I wish he would have at least said "drank" instead of "drink." Ugh, so friggin' "proper." <_<

Actually Catfish is very much eatable as it is catchable, in fact it's healthier then beef if you do it right.

Darn you, Sir Reginald Featherbottom the IV, the NOUN not the VERB! Well, the Verb, too. IT IS ALL "DRANK"!!

"I drank some purple DRANK."
"I drunk some purple DRANK."
"I dranked some purple DRANK."

Put an "i" in a "drank," and you lose all your street cred! I think he meant Jersey people. He's done got all sadiddy on y'all ol' Jersey boys! Been sippin' that AriZona tea with his pinky all and curled and receivin' that fancy Online learnin', done forgot where he come from!

:lol:

OK, I'm done.

Kind of hard to flush a catfish down a toilet. Not that toilets are relevant here, anyway, as people don't go swimming in sewers or dump dead bodies into them.

But if it's dead wouldn't it be ashes? If they get cremated and all (the people not the fish).

Well when I was younger my family used to keep exotic fishes and all and we had 3-4 catfish. One of them carked it and I was told to go flush it down the toliet. It went down quite nicely.

[germanturkey]

third pic is photoshopped.. but the first one seems real. which is quite scary..

Oh they asked to see giant catfish I pulled up ones from google :D

do catfish have teeth?

o_o the water its evil now

I meant Philipinos, no offence. You guys eat some sick stuff. I'd rather eat that stuff at the Texas State Fair. However there's fried cheese steak sandwiches and the one here in Arizona.:x

And that "catfish" looks like it was by a nuclear power plant or something. If this keeps happening in the future I smell a B-rated Hollywood movie. Of course they'd film it in the Mekong river instead since that is known for it's enormous catfish.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Yes all fish do, catfish teeth are usually small but several have teeth like this. There are even wood eating, singing, and electric catfish.

[Xhalen]

Mmmm, balut.

Catfish also plan to vote in Florida in November (http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/07/16/pkg.fl.raining.fish.baynews9).

[Ikari Warrior]

Man, bernie, you sure know a lot about catfish. Does it come from being a hobby/sport fisherman? Or are you a marine biologist when you're not modding the forums?

man now you won't get me to go to the beach /sigh but frik I can't swim anyway /heh

[Ikari Warrior]

This thread is actually the opposite of flushing fish down the toilet. This is about sending people up the river and the fish eating them, rather than sending fish down the drain and whatever-is-down-there eating them.

The solution to this problem may be to bury corpses, and release the catfish's natural enemy into the river...

[333jeffery]

Reminds me of the redneck fishing technique, called "noodling". You wiggle your fingers in the water until a big catfish grabs your hand. If you're lucky, you can wrestle the fish into your boat. Otherwise, you're catfish chow...

[KabukiSaMuRaI]

so what happen if we flush down gold fish and different fishes will we see monster fishes around the world lol

[old hat]

Urban legends about giant, man eating catfish have been circulating for a long time now.
http://www.snopes.com/critters/lurkers/catfish.asp
and in several countries

[KabukiSaMuRaI]

I was under the impression that it was a myth/urban legend...unless you have some tangible proof. :naughty:
I don't find myself in sewers very often to substantiate such a thing. :P

[Jia]

They had a special on news.com.au about a year ago investigating alligators in Florida sewers :P

[Old Ape Face]

Meh, it looks like my sister. A well-placed paper bag goes a long way, my friend.

I'm sure the fish is feeling insulted by that. :P

[Old Ape Face]

which would make it irrelevant whether it's true or not.

now Burmy Pythons in the Florida Everglades, that's true.

[KabukiSaMuRaI]

Well, I guess now there is some context. Florida is alligator paradise...above ground and under. :naughty:

I was referring to the urban legend about NYC sewers. Anyone know people there who can verify such a thing?


which would make it irrelevant whether it's true or not.

The relevancy is not what is relevant here. Levity Yuki :) A well placed foil for flushing fish down the toilet. If it's Florida, then I believe it...why are we talking about pythons?
