Yow! That is one huge fish! I used to have a catfish in my aquarium and it grew pretty large, I can see how this sucker could just grow and grow if there was nothing to stop it. It topped out at seven inches long, not anywhere near the six plus feet the Thai fish was. The artical also says that the Mekong River Basin is home to more species of massive fish than any river on Earth, can a National Geographic special be very far off? I hope not, I want to see a special on monster fish!
I wonder if they could deep fry a fish of that size, it’s a popular way to cook fish over there. Quite good if you don’t mind a lot of bones.
