Called the "Wahpper," in a play on words, this 40-foot, 5000 pound fiberglass sculpture of a catfish was commissioned by the Visitors Committee in Wahpeton, North Dakota. It was crafted by artist Dave Oswald of DWO Fiberglass Company.
The Wahpper is on a pedestal in Kidder Recreation Area, along the Red River. During heavy flooding, the catfish can appear to be swimming.
There is no admission fee to visit the "World's Largest Catfish," and the site is available 24 hours a day year round. Free off-street parking, and there is even a boat ramp.
