Tungsten Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Anybody see the episode on Catfish?I guess one of the most feared fish on the Amazon is about 6" long.Candiru Catfish i guess i guy went for a pee about knee deep and while he was relieving him self one jumped or swam up the urine and climbed inside the mans penis.In severe pain he went to a hospital where they didn't believe him.He then went to another doctor who checked him out and found one all the way up by his testys.Unbelievable.

Jayhad Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I watched that last night as well, nasty little buggers..... 4 days he waited with that fish clawing it's way up to his bladder.... and people say wet wading the Bow is gross Quote
Guest JayVee Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Also check out Extreme Fishing with Robson Green sometime. Great show, IMHO. Quote
SilverDoctor Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Try to always catch River Monsters. Really interesting crazy stuff, along of coarse with Fly fishing Tuesday programming. Quote
Gaffer Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 I have known about the Candiru for several years as a girl in one of my senior parasitology classes did a lengthy paper on it. As far as they know the Candiru is the only vertebrate parasite of man. There are some tribes in the the Amazon that wear woven penis sheaths to prevent them. Andrew Quote
beedhead Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 River Monsters is quite the show....That episode your talking about was un-nerving at best..... Quote
Giovanne Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 River Monsters- one of my favorite shows. If you have not seen it you should check it out! http://animal.discovery.com/tv/river-monsters/ Quote

Dxh Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Anyone with Netflix can now watch seasons 1 and 2........pretty cool show. Quote
bulltrout Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 42 seconds! u must have a big reel to have 1 mile of backing! the fact that he was counting to exactly 42 with a big fish on makes me skeptical... Quote
flyfishy Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 THINKIN OF THE DAY OK 42 second is way to long,24 sounds to be right. 300yards @ 5 mph =300 / 5 mph = 24 second mathematician HELP maybe. PS how fast do trout swim with a hook in them? flyfishy lived the monster Quote
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 My only monster is out of a small lake in southern BC. I was standing up in my canoe casting my leach out to a school of rainbows when i noticed a big dark slow blob swim under me. It was aslong as my leg and as thick as my hips! this was a TANK, upon my return to the cottage i talked to the native guy who lives next door, he said that there are still a few tripaloid grass carp trolling around. I have returned to this place many times never to see it again but i always hope one day it will take hold and drag my canoe around. Quote

PS how fast do trout swim with a hook in them? flyfishy lived the monster back to my original statement...if you are counting seconds or even estimating seconds after hooking up with a big fish then there's something wrong with you...

Guest JayVee Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I believe it's broadcast in the UK only. WFN man if you have it demand it from your cable provider..... but I am sure the big 3 carry brodcast it Quote
Jayhad Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 No JayVee WFN is everywhere, PS have you had enough fill of the eyes yet to come back to the trouty side??? when you do let's Quote
Guest JayVee Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Not WFN, I meant the show itself is broadcast only in the UK. But I could be wrong about that. Despite my love of the eyes I've always been, and always will be, partial to the trouty side :-) Expect a PM from me when the weather gets a little better but I'm definitely fishing the Bow tomorrow. No JayVee WFN is everywhere, PS have you had enough fill of the eyes yet to come back to the trouty side??? when you do let's Quote
