I'm on the hunt for a mysterious freshwater giant that has become known as the monster of Lake Garda.

I believe that a huge wels catfish could be behind the monster myth, but to prove it, I need to catch a big one.

Yeah, I felt like a break, but actually that's, um, works out.

I have made contact with something in the pope.

They rarely fall for the same trick twice.

My guide Yuri suggests I put live nightcrawlers on my hook.

The idea is, you lower it down just off the bottom.

Imagine, my knee is the bottom, and then it's up in the water and then down on down.

But what you're hoping is that this is going to get in the face off a catfish on dhe.

If I was a catfish, that is gonna be quite appetizing.

I'm moving the bait up and down I'm adjusting.

Is the depth changes on what I'm also doing is using this clunk to make a sound which is known to get make catfish active.

It's thought this mimics the sound of other catfish feeding, triggering anything that's down there to start moving and investigate.

I'm using my hands so I can feel when there's a take and if a take happens, I'm gonna be very quick.

If I get it wrong with a big fish either I'd lose my fingers.

But whatever may be lurking in this river is not falling for my trickery.

Something actually took the worms, but it didn't inhale the whole thing, so I came close.

As daylight fades, we set up for our all night vigil on the island below the dam.

Long distance beyond what is possible to cast.

So We're gonna position the Bates very precisely.

Using the boat, we are going to attach the tackle to the rock with a thin piece of line.

And the idea is when a catfish takes the bait, the force of that will break that week.

Yeah, it's just basically now driving out positioning, Right?

I'm making sure the line is absolutely tight.

So switch the whole on, If anything, a soldier in the night, that's gonna sound.

The worst case scenario is I'm here for the next 10 or 12 hours and nothing happens.

On the other hand, something could happen at any moment.

If the fish wraps it around a rock, it will all be over.

Hold this office belly is hitting the shallow water Now trying Bring in the middle Here, it's coming in.

It's clear that wels catfish are growing large enough here to account for the recent Lake monster sightings.

If this isn't a monster of the deep, I don't know what is.

This is a fish that navigates and hunts by field on breeding.

The vibrations in the water is one reason why catfish do so well in muddy rivers like this with low visibility.

But the big thing that you just can't help but notice is this enormous mouth.

This is a predator that swallows big prey whole just a massive fish.

So the big question is the Lake Garda monster one of these.

Um well, if you're talking about a report in the 16th century, or in fact, anything up to the mid 19 hundreds, then absolutely no, that's quite possibly would have been a sturgeon.

But what about Now this water behind me connects with Lake Garda.

And if a fish like this could be here, then there's every reason to suppose that there might be something like this hiding somewhere there.

On a few glimpse to this creature breaking the surface of Lake Garda, you'd be left in little doubt that you'd seen a moment stop.

Maybe one has even taken up residence in the cave beneath the island, like the beast reported in the 16th century.

But from everything I've now seen, I think the Lake Garda monster could well be a double act.

 With early stories inspired by a sturgeon and some of the more recent sightings by a giant Wels catfish, I came to Italy to look for a riel, flesh and blood creature that might explain the legend of the Lake Garda monster.
