I'm never tasted catfish, but if it eats humans, it must be extra nutritious, right?

It's so cute!
I want to catch it, just to give it a massive hug.
...Maybe not, though.

I was the holder of the highest amount of rep that ever lived on TFF. 1788. lolz. I ween.
Those are just a slight bit disgusting, I'm not a fan of catfish. It's even worse that this species eats people. I went fishing with my brother once where there was a ton of catfish, fortunately they didn't eat people. XD
That thing could feed a village! Fish fry anyone??

Alright ... maybe it's just me ... but if you're looking for a fish that's big enough to eat a human being, is it really a good idea to do it WHILE STANDING IN THE WATER?

People in water are kind of like fish out of water. Who can blame large predatory animals for deciding to have a large, easy meal over having to hunt? Thats how survial of the fittest works!
I don't know enough about this particular species to judge, but I do know that with a lot of other predatory animals, their "human killer" labels are often exaggerated. The great white shark has a notorious reputation even though there are less reported human deaths by one than other species such as the Bull or Tiger Shark. Even then thats less than deaths people cause to other people, either deiberately or accidently.
Cute catfish though! :3

Remember Jaws? The movie that scared people away from beaches for years? That was partially based off the Jersey Shore attacks of 1916, which were probably from a bull shark. Add those stories with the fact that a decade before the movie was released, somebody caught a 4500-pound Great White not too far from New York, and you have a good (believable) movie.

I wonder who would win in a fight, the catfish or this thing: YouTube - Prehistoric Japanese Goblin Shark ALIVE
Awww Goonchie!! It just needs a little love <3333 Come here fishie x3.
But in all seriousness.. I don't think I'd be taking a swim in that river any time soon. Nu uh. No thanks.
On a random note... I caught a cat-fish once. It was so cute... Of course I set it free ^_^
Following the path for truth...
and ending the dream.
I don't like water critters.
Except octopuses.
