Kyrgyzstani Arthur Sedov shared a video of catching a giant catfish weighing 20 kg
Arthur began his fishing journey at the age of 12 when he first picked up a fishing rod at one of the ponds in Kaindy, located in the Panfilov district. Since then, he has not left this passion, spending 18 years traveling across Asia in search of big trophies.
Under the pseudonym "Asian Wanderer," he shares his fishing stories. In early September, Sedov talked about his trip to the Indian Ocean, where he aimed to catch a shark, which can be learned more about here.
Previously, he also showcased his catches from the Ili River, including a 4 kg snakehead and a 20 kg catfish.
This time, Arthur presented his photos with a huge catfish, weighing 20 kilograms.
“My friends and I went fishing on the Ili River in Kazakhstan. I set up my 'turntables' for the night. In the morning, while checking my gear, I found a huge catfish on the hook. When I pulled it closer, I realized it wouldn't fit in the boat,” Arthur recounts.
“After 20 minutes of intense struggle, I managed to grab it by the lower jaw and, with some effort, pulled it into the boat. I couldn't contain my joy and shouted with excitement. Its mouth was enormous, and its eyes looked like two black buttons. This is my biggest catch to date,” he shared his impressions.
