Also known as the Leopard Catfish, it is a cross between an Amazon Redtail and a Tiger Shovelnose. This was caught just after lunch by free lining a piece of roast chicken in the margins at Ratchaburi Lake in Thailand near Bangkok.

Catfishing in Asia

I have enjoyed lots of fishing expeditions travelling to various countries throughout the world, including Brazil, France, Germany, India, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

On my travels I have managed to catch nineteen different species of Catfish, plus three different Albino Wels. Some of the species of fish that I have caught are: Arapaima, Freshwater Stingray, Goonch, Mahseer, Piranha, Amazon Redtail, Giant Mekong Catfish, Asian Redtail, Chao Phraya, Tiger Shovelnose Catfish, Tarpon, Tigerfish and Vundu.
