The following morning, Mark had already caught several smaller catfish when he noticed something unusual. A dark, slow-moving shadow glided beneath the surface about five feet away. Instantly, Mark sensed something extraordinary approaching.
It was the biggest fish he had ever seen.

With over 25 years of experience, Mark had seen plenty of impressive catches, but nothing matched this fish’s size. News of the giant spread fast, drawing a crowd of curious onlookers and even lifeguards. The atmosphere grew tense as one lifeguard shouted a warning, urging caution.
