Wels catfish catches in the Danube Delta

Overview

A fisherman in the Danube Delta captured a Wels catfish measuring approximately two meters in length and weighing about 80 kilograms. The catch followed a 20-minute struggle using the ‘clonc’ method, a technique involving a wooden instrument to attract fish through noise.

After documenting the catch with video and photographs, the fisherman released the fish, citing a commitment to catch and release practices. This event follows a larger catch by the same individual in the Danube three weeks prior.
