Reel-y? 280-pound catfish reportedly caught in Italy’s Po River

That’s the fish story being told by Dino Ferrari, who reeled in a 280-pound (127-kilogram), 8.75-foot-long catfish last Thursday along the Po River, said Davide Valla, who is with Ferrari’s sponsor company Sportex. (The sponsored fisherman wouldn’t say exactly where he caught the big fellow, choosing to keep his favorite spots secret.)

That’s because this fish story has a happy ending for the star of the show: the catfish. According to Valla, Ferrari released his big catch back into the Po River.
