The last time we covered fishing was…never. Actually, wait. That's not true! There was that one time where we interviewed Kevin Gates about it. But outside of that, nothing.

We couldn't ignore the ridiculous catfish that Italian fisherman Davide Valla caught along the Po River recently, though. It weighed 280 pounds—which is as heavy as "Big Baby" Davis, if you need a reference point—and took 40 minutes to reel in. And maybe the scariest part of all is that…IT'S STILL OUT THERE! Valla threw, er, pushed the catfish back into the river after taking the photo above as well as this creepy shot:

So don't ever (ever, ever, ever) go into the Po River—or any river, for that matter—again.
