An exceptional catch. A young man caught a catfish weighing 90 kg and 2.43 m long on August 1 in the Seine. Geoffrey Rulleau, 29, was on the river with two friends when he caught the impressive fish.
Having left in the early morning, the three fishermen were on board a small boat 3.5 m long. After a poor morning in catches, Geoffrey felt a fish pull twice on his line, while the boat was between Choisy-le-Roi and Alfortville (Val-de-Marne), reports Le Parisien .

"It's a very physical fight"
“After a few seconds the very heavy animal moved with, in its mouth, the hook to which I had hooked a dead fish”, tells the young man to the Paris daily. “The reel unwound all the line, without us being able to stop it. "

After measuring the animal, the young people put it back in the water, happy with this incredible catch. In 2019, a 2.34 m catfish had already been fished in the town of Créteil, recalls Le Parisien .
