SONOFAFITCH

That's not Goonch!

Them are catfish, Wels or the other Yankee one called Bighead or something, I think.

As for the tackle. There are some great videos of them being caught by hand, noodling it is called.

Check it out on youtube.

the photos came in a spam mail so will not be able to give any info.

Huge spam that is !!!

They're European catfish (sometimes called Wells or Danubian catfish) - Silurus glanis.
There's a few of them in the UK but most are in southern and eastern Europe and west Asia.
To judge by the background, I'd guess that those fish came from Spain's river Ebro ("Rio Ebre" in spanish) where there are loads of guiding opperations cattering for anyone who wants to catch them.

wow its minster catfish
but there is not any info about

KEN!
I dont know bout spain but the dry soil in the background looks as if it is somewhere in west asia as u said.

Where do we get such fish

Try ANEKAL near Bangalore . Bops, riaz has witnessed huge catfish there.

Some good size catfish u will find in ANEKAL lake........But its not worth the trouble...as the lake is under Contract & the Locals are not very co-operative....had overheard some guys making Plans to Mug me afer Riaz Bhai left ...was glad when Riaz Bhai waited for me.

The wels catfish is found in wide areas of central, southern, and eastern Europe, and near the Baltic and Caspian Seas.
These can possibly grow to the total length up to 3 m (ten feet) and a maximum weight of over 150 kg (330 lb)
