I say we send Snoopy in after it. Your mission: jump in and wrestle the monster until he surrenders.
http://www.thejump.net/id/wels-catfish.htm Did I tell you I'm allergic to dog-eating 5' catfish?
There are guys in the US who wrestle very large catfish underwater -- in the Missippi or its tributaries if I remember correctly.
I would think an experienced spearfisherman could sort this guy out, but I'm not that guy. The diving would be scary enough to me w/o the fish. I just have a hard time trying to convince myself to breathe underwater and even a snorkel is hard for me to use.
I'll stick to the land dwelling critters!
