Pin it! 
At only 280 lbs it's not even the biggest catfish caught in Italy. Oh, and he released it back into the river.

Incredible restraint shown by releasing it back. I can tell you if I lured in a catfish that size, it would be stuffed and on my living room wall.

I call BS. I'd believe 280 KILOS, but not pounds.
Unless the fisherman is a jockey, in which case, I apologize.

Yeah, initially I thought for sure it was photoshopped, but I didn't even think about how crazy it seems that a fish that size only weighs in at 280 pounds. That is indeed incredibly svelte.
