Hi TJ,
I've caught many, many different species of catfish in South America, including several redtails in the low 100-120 pound range.
When you refer to the "tiger shovel-nose" I assume you're talking about the Surubi family, which area striped or spotted.
I've caught at least 3 different species of them, the largest, one about 140#. in Argentina. Interestingly, lots of these have been caught on lures.
best,
L
