Many years ago I was fishing Lake Caspe in Spain and during a bassfishing tournament I was in, I hooked the bottom or at least I thought it was the bottom till it started moving and pulled our 17ft Astro bassboat around the little cove we were in for about 20 minutes. I had 50 lb braid on so it was not breaking my line. I could not budge this fish at all. Stayed on the bottom. Ffinally the hook straightened out and when I reeled in the line it had about 9 feet of heavy slime covering it. That lake is famous for the European catfish they call SILURO (italian name) lots of fun... also many of these catfish on a big crankbait. They catch them over 200lbs alot there.
