According to Mr. Jakub, he first discovered the "giant" catfish early in the morning when the boat passed a part of the cliff. Then, he dropped his homemade fishing rod towards it and waited. Photo: @jakubvagner_official/Newsflash.

“10 minutes passed and nothing happened. Suddenly, the fish turned around and ran straight into my trap,” Jakub said. Photo: @jakubvagner_official/Newsflash.

Jakub recalls what happened next as “the hardest battle I’ve ever had with a catfish.” He said he could barely hold the rod and called a friend to help him pull the fish ashore. Photo: Jam Press/Jakub Vágner.

“After almost 50 minutes, the catfish was lying next to my boat. I was shaking, completely exhausted,” Jakub said. Photo: Jam Press/Jakub Vágner.

Mr. Jakub shared that the catfish was not only enormous in length but also very massive in height and width. It was a beautiful fish, almost perfect, and could have grown even larger. Photo: Newsflash.

Fisherman Jakub says catching big fish is “not just a passion, but also a spirit, dedication and determination”. He never kills the fish he catches and hopes they will continue to grow after being released back into the wild. Photo: @jakubvagner_official/Newsflash.
