Was fishing for small planted trout (i.e. dinner) at a local lake and caught a gigantic flat head catfish that ate a #10 black balanced leech. It was hooked inside the lip so I'm sure he ate it. I have to believe this 20lb+ catfish had plenty of trout to swallow so what gives? Thought my 5wt rod was going to break.

They don’t get big from not eating, you probably hit it in the face and it thought “ehh why not”.
That must have been a hell of a time getting in on a 5wt, nice catch!
Count your blessings, that’s a hog no matter what species. I’m sure surprised, like I would be! Congrats!
That’s a toad. I bet that’s many dinners, or at least one dinner for 8 people
