No Fish Tale: Thais Catch 646-Pound Fish
AP reports: “This big one did not get away. Thai fishermen netted a 646-pound catfish believed to have been the world’s largest freshwater fish ever caught in Thailand, a researcher said Thursday.
The nearly 9-foot-long Mekong giant catfish was landed May 1 by villagers in Chiang Khong, a remote district in northern Thailand, and weighed by Thai fisheries department officials, said Zeb Hogan, who leads an international project to locate and study the world’s largest freshwater fish species.
He confirmed it was the heaviest fish on record since Thailand started keeping such statistics in 1981.
This one might be bigger, but only slightly, than the one Michelle Malkin recently caught.
