Legendary Dog-Eating Catfish Dies

BERLIN (Reuters) - A giant catfish that ate a dog and terrorized a German lake for years has washed up dead, but the legend of "Kuno the Killer" lives on.

A gardener discovered the carcass of a five-foot-long catfish weighing 77 pounds this week, a spokesman for the western city of Moenchengladbach said on Friday.

Kuno became a local celebrity in 2001 when he sprang from the waters of the Volksgarten park lake to swallow a Dachshund puppy whole. He evaded repeated attempts to capture him.

And I came in here cause I thought, Lassie died while she was eating her catfish dinner!
Oh my, what was I think'in?

Life is just like a box of chocolates, mama

Marvellous headline, Proud-A: we await "Dogfish eats cat".
us.angler.com has a picture of a 320 ib catfish (eek) -apaprently the Amazon is full of the monsters: if a 77lb-er eats a dachshund, I imagine those guys take Alsatians (Germman Shep[herds)

Well that doesn't surprise me! I have pet fish, and catfish (and goldfish for that matter) will eat anything that will fit in their mouths!

When I went to do my Mile Swim in Boy Scouts we stayed up all night the night before smoking cigarettes and telling giant catfish stories. All during my swim across Kanopolis reservoir I thought I felt something brushing against my leg. I am sure the other swimmers felt the same.
