Piraiba - The biggest brazilian catfish!

[Marco Brazil]

Hi friends!

I'm brazilian and a catfish lover!

I'm not a expert in ENGLISH, so probably i'll write wrong some words ok?

Last month i've caught the most beautiful and bigger catfish of our waters: The Piraíba!

The piraiba is a leather fish that looks like a shark ...
It is also one of the larger fish freshwater in the world and is among the hardest to find, so it is coveted by fishermen ...
I went with my father for the Araguaia river and fished for three days ... Only by this fish ...
On the last day (sixth - 24/09/10), we finally had the good fortune to catch it ... I filmed everything in High Definition and set up a video...

It was the realization of a dream!

I hope you enjoy it... i can't explain the feeling of catching a fish of that!

Quest in the comments for more information!

Take care you all!
See you soon

Bem-vindo, Marco!

I have just featured this thread on the front page, take a look at www.SportFishermen.com

Awesome catch and great work on the video!

Belas cachorras, bicudas, corvinas e aruanãs também Eu vi uma outra espécie que não conheço o nome

bigfish4me posted my name here because all I catch from the beach (pesca de praia) are tiny catfish but I love catching them - if I'm fishing I'm happy, and when I catch a fish it's even better

Parabéns pelo sonho realizado

Um abraço

Jer

Hey Jer!
Thank you so much for putting my video featured on the main page!
It is an honor for me ... do you speak Portuguese?
The fish that you said did not know the name must be the mandubé (a leather fish) or the apapá/dourada (that has the color of gold).
I also have a great passion for fishing. For me each one represents a unique and special moment.
Thanks again and see you soon

Very cool, great catch! I wonder if Catfish now think that if they get caught by a human they will all get a big hug.

I just saw this post from you. I wish I had seen it before. Yes, I speak portuguese ... I'm brazilian and live down here I'm from Sao Paulo, SP.

Please share your future fishing adventures with us

Welcome aboard Marco. You really need to teach Jer how to catch big catfish. You probably used bait bigger than the fish Jer has caught.
