The Wels Catfish Killer Myth

Since historical records began in Europe there’s been reports of very large catfish attacking and killing people.

Sizes of these fish range from those capable of swallowing babies and small children to full-size adults. These accounts are far from scientific.

Adding to this legend, modern newspapers claim that people have been attacked by the Wels Catfish, although there haven’t been reports of anyone being killed.
