An Italian fisherman caught an insanely large catfish on Italy’s Po River last week.
Dino Ferrari, a bus mechanic, was out fishing with his brother when he reeled in the 280-pound, 8-foot-9 beast following a 40-minute struggle, he told CNN in an interview.
It is believed to be the largest ever caught with a rod and reel, ESPN reported.
After taking a few photos with his prized catch, Ferrari released it back into the river.
