Zachary Gutierrez+FollowCatfish Spotted Climbing Waterfalls?!File this under 'nature is wild'—researchers in Brazil just caught thousands of tiny bumblebee catfish scaling a 4-meter waterfall like little aquatic ninjas. These fish are less than 4cm long but managed to climb rocks, even stacking on top of each other to get upstream (probably to breed). They even tried to escape the researchers’ bucket! Scientists think they use their fins as anchors and maybe even have a suction trick. Who knew fish could be this extra? #Science #NatureIsWild #Catfish20Share
Tamara Jones+FollowCatfish Are Literally Climbing Waterfalls?!You won’t believe this: thousands of bumblebee catfish were spotted scaling waterfalls in Brazil for the first time ever! These tiny fish (less than 9cm!) gather in massive clusters and use their fins to suction themselves up rocks, especially at night. Scientists think this wild migration is for spawning, and get this—they don’t even eat during the climb. Fish climbing walls is officially a thing now.

Jennifer Rojas+FollowEpic 9ft Catfish Battle—You Gotta See This!Imagine reeling in a catfish almost as long as a car! Pro angler Jakub Vagner just caught a 9ft beast after a wild 50-minute fight in the Czech Republic. He even needed backup from a friend to land it! The best part? He snapped some epic pics and let the gentle giant swim free. This fish was not just huge, but “brutally tall and broad”—and it’s still out there, getting bigger! #News #FishingTales #Catfish1285289Share
Cory Wilson+FollowMissouri River’s giant catfish sparks debateAn 86.8-pound blue catfish was caught and released in the Missouri River, but the real story is the heated debate it’s causing among local anglers. Some are celebrating the massive catch, while others are raising serious concerns about the use of a stringer through the fish’s gills—even for catch-and-release. Studies show stringers can harm fish, sometimes fatally, even if they swim away. It’s got people talking: what does responsible fishing really look like? Have you ever questioned your own catch-and-release methods, or seen practices that made you think twice? #News #MissouriRiver #Catfish12343Share
