The Top Fishing

This catfish had six whiskers and a dark greenish-black body, which looked a bit ugly; its nearly three-meter long body was bulbous, and one could only wonder how many other fish it had devoured.

The audience members watching the fish were excited, while others furrowed their brows.

"This fish doesn’t look like a native Chinese catfish."

"Yes, we have several different types of catfish native to China, but this one doesn’t seem to belong to any of those."

"Can catfish grow that big? It looks like it weighs several hundred pounds...."

In the midst of the viewers’ confusion, Xia Xiaoxue, who was in charge of live streaming, spoke up.

"Dear viewers, although I haven’t caught many big fish, as a semi-professional fishing enthusiast, I do have some study of fish. According to my judgment, this catfish is definitely not a native species. If I’m not mistaken, it should be an African catfish, which can grow to a very large size. This 200-pounder isn’t at its limit."

According to records, there have even been discoveries of giant African catfish weighing over 300 pounds. They can prey on animals like antelopes and deer, and for this kind of giant African catfish, consuming waterfowl and other fish species is even easier," she added.

"If this African catfish grew up in Qianxia Lake, then having grown to this size, one can’t imagine how many native fish it has harmed...."

After listening to Xia Xiaoxue’s words, the audience couldn’t help but lament; this was indeed an invasive species.

"Master Lin did great by catching it. This fish living in our local waters and feeding on our local aquatic life disrupts the ecological balance; it’s a downright nuisance!"
