No doubt coming to the swamps of Florida to keep the pythons company.

This is not a technique that is taught to wildlife biologists. I work with loons, and have friends who deal with bears, moose, and other large animals.
It's great that the villagers put so much effort into saving an animal they would have eaten a decade ago, but there was a missed opportunity to get a blood sample, attach a radio tracker, etc. In addition, that poor fish was traumatized, both physically and mentally. I hope it recovers from the experience. Biologists might have tranquilized it, and definitely would have handled it more gently.

Ralph, you're the only person I know that could make me feel sorry for a catfish.

Dave, are you really sure that's a catfish. Looks more like a whale to me!
