From the early to mid-1990s, there were rumors of huge man-eating sheatfish those lived in the Dnipro River and dragged dogs, cattle, and even the careless children in the river pits. Well, it was something like a regular reporting about UFOs, or yeti, few took it seriously.
However, the fact that Dnipropetrovs’k fishermen contest participant from Zaporizhzhia caught a sheatfish weighing 77 kg, confirmed that giant Dnipro sheatfish exists. These sheatfish, of course, hardly could be cannibals, but the fact remains fact.

Untill our illustrious compatriot, caught almost a hundred kg record-breaking barbel the fisherman already had caught 30 and 40-kg fish (average sheatfish is 2-10 kg.). The fisherman had his most memorable mustachioed catch a in the autumn season last year.

Bait, said the master of a fishing rod, was a traditional combination of a leech and a mole cricket. River titan appeared in the evening. Approximately one and a half of an hour took to torment and pull this mighty fish into the boat. Alas, Zaporizhzhian hasn’t won the contest, but agree it is sure a fishing success.
