Side-Splitting Fishing Fails Captured at the Perfect Time

Fish or Snake?

This albino catfish looks more like a boa constrictor than a fish. Chris Grimmer reeled in this 8-foot-long albino catfish, which tipped the scales at an incredible 194 pounds—two pounds heavier than the previous heaviest albino catfish, which was caught by a blind angler called Shelia Penfold. Grimmer spent 30 minutes trying to reel it in. He and his pals celebrated the unbelievable catch by drinking champagne on the riverbank.
