The catfish was 21.5 inches long and weighed about 3 pounds when it was tagged by researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on Wednesday, May 29, 2013, on the Red River near Selkirk, Manitoba.

How the fish spent its next 10 years is anyone’s guess, but a client fishing with Grand Forks catfish guide Brad Durick caught the tagged catfish Friday, Sept. 8, in the Lincoln Drive Park area of the Red River in Grand Forks.

The catfish measured 27.5 inches, meaning it had grown only 6 inches in 10 years, confirming the science that Red River catfish grow slowly but can live a long time.
