River monsters is a pretty good show, the SO and I always have to watch it if we come across it on TV. He keeps saying we should get some of the fish he catches

Length-wise they don't get nearly as large as some, but they do get incredibly fat, thick, weighty, call it what you will. I researched them quite a fair amount as I was looking at getting one. The youngsters are very attractive fish, but imo they get fat and dullishly ugly as they get older. If you're looking for a plec with massive girth and a real look of weightyness then they are the fish for you. In the end I decided they aren't a fish for me!
Just found it: Series 1, Episode 5 - you can watch it here for 99p (worth a watch)...
