After that, I tried a few more cleaning with vinegar experiments. I made my own green version of scrubbing bubbles to clean some baked on crud under my stovetop. I sprinkled the crud with baking powder, then a bit of vinegar and let the foaming begin.
The second giant is Pylodictis olivaris, the flathead catfish. The current world record, as of 1998, is a 123 pound monster caught in Kansas. Commercial catfishing operations report flatheads nearly 5 feet long and weighing in at 140 pounds. This was my first surprise. Many sources report that the blue catfish is the largest catfish in North America.
Although a 280-pound catfish is an impressive catch any day of the week, the current record for a catfish ever caught goes to a gentlemen who pulled in a roughly 342-pound lau-lau or piraiba catfish in 2009. The largest catfish on record nearly eight feet and nine inches and weighed nearly 646 pounds! The Amazon river is home to a variety of unusual fish and âriver monsters.â Itâs very possible that the largest catfish known to the world has yet to be caught.
