NEBRASKA CITY  - Although the flathead catfish 10-year-old Isaiah Sellers caught is shy of the state record by about 50 pounds, he still has the making of a legendary fish story.

The 36-pounder was caught at the pond at Nebraska City's Steinhart Park, where there are regular stockings of trout but large catfish are rare.

Sellers was fishing with his friend Nova, grandfather and Nova's dad Sean Wulf.

Sellers: "My rod tip … so first I had slack in my line then my rod tip just got jammed down just like that.  Then I knew I had a fish on."

For bait, Sellers used a warmouth, a dark-colored sunfish, he had caught earlier.

He struggled with the catfish on the reel for about 15 minutes before Wulf used a net to bring him on shore.

Wulf: "It took all of us to get him in. He's a monster."

Nova videotaped the action about an hour before dusk on Saturday.

The kids say the fish will be returned to Steinhart Pond for someone else's giant fish story.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
