[ Interesting to note that a catfish fits into the gamefish category ]

Maybe I'm not as smart as I thought...A fish drowned?

Hey horiz0n;

A fish needs to have water moving over it's gills for it to be able to take oxygen from it. By the end of the fight between man and fish ~fish had rolled onto its side and no longer had the strength to keep moving on its own. Water ceased to be moving over the gill plates, so the fish was no longer getting oxygen. Hence it drowned. This happened right at the side of the boat, and can happen in an amazingly short timeframe.

The fight should not have taken as long as it did, but that was one stubborn fish, which kept taking line and diving down deep.

I was [bodily] sore for about a week, but was more upset that the fish actually died.

Sometimes, if you want to release a fish alive after such a battle, you can put the fish in the water and move it forward and back, manually causing water/oxygen to pass over the gills until the fish has enough strength to do it on its own. This is common with Musky and Northern Pike.

In this photo released by World Wildlife Fund-National Geographic, two Thai fishermen show a 293-kilogram (646-pound) giant catfish they caught from the Mekong River in Chiang Khong district of Chiang Rai province, northern Thailand Saturday, June 11, 2005. Thai fishermen have caught this giant catfish believed to be the world's heaviest living freshwater fish but died and was eaten after environmentalists and officials negotiated for its release to allow it to spawn.
