RIVER EBRO CATFISH AREN'T 'ALL MOUTH' Posted 25th September There is a common misconception that catfish are just giant tadpoles with huge mouths. Well, at ECQ we can confirm that they are not just 'all mouth', but are indeed finely tuned hunting machines. The Wells catfish is the ultimate freshwater predator capable of growing to sizes in excess of 200lb. A prime scavenger that eats almost anything from small carp to ducklings, catfish feed with ferocious power from the bottom to the surface and like all predators inhabit weed beds, slacks, snags and deep holes. Being practically blind, they hunt using a combination of their long whiskers for smell and lateral line for vibration, catching prey in there huge gripping mouths and soft velcro like teeth. Their muscular tail injects the speed and extreme power used for hunting and makes the Wells catfish the ultimate fighting machine for specimen anglers around the world. GO BACK TO PREVIOUS PAGE |
