A man was attacked by a giant catfish and I personally interviewed him and saw the massive scar on his back!
This month marks the 20th anniversary of my groundbreaking investigation into truly giant catfish— mysterious creatures that continue to blur the line between science and legend. From murky depths to late-night campfire tales, these fish have become modern myths that just might be real.

The catfish attack was a strange sidebar in a story that was (and still is) very interesting to cover and investigate in person.
A super fun was part was I found myself diving alongside “Splash,” the world-record blue catfish housed at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens, Texas. At the time, I was chasing every lead I could on reports of monster catfish lurking in reservoirs and beneath massive dams — stories that had spooked divers for decades.
Have you ever heard the old tales of divers surfacing pale and trembling, refusing to go back under because of what they saw?
I decided to find out the truth for myself — and along the way, I still can’t believe I met a man who had actually been attacked by one of these massive fish.
Watch the video to discover the full story — and decide for yourself whether these river giants are merely fish tales… or something far more extraordinary.
