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

Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
