Canadian Hauls Great Catch in Israeli Waters

January 21, 2009

Labignan was in Israel on a 10-day fishing expedition to the Mediterranean, the Sea of Galilee, the Dan River streams, and the Red Sea. On one particularly successful fishing haul, on a gorgeous sunny day in the Sea of Galilee, the anglers caught a large catfish, three feet [0.91 meters] in length, weighing about 10 to 15 lbs [4.5 to 6.8 kilograms]. “We fished on a commercial boat, using a seine net and caught most of the variety of popular eating fish in the Sea: tilapia, freshwater sardines, large scaled barbel, common carp, silver carp,” Labignan told ISRAEL21c, thrilled with the idea of fishing in the sea where the apostles fished.
