Estimate the size of this giant wels catfish

[basslover34]

Looking at somewhere in the 12-14' range... weight... less than 400 pounds (fat doesn't weigh as much as muscle LOL )

Big wels catfish are often stockier than smaller ones, but not only because they have more fat, but also more muscle-mass. 400 pounds would be much too less for a wels of the length you estimated. The world rekord specimen weighed already 144kg at 2,78m.
