a friend of mine sent me this. unbelievable, need a whale harpon to reel this sucker in.

FISHERMEN in northern Thailand have caught the biggest catfish on
record - a 293-kg giant the size of a grizzly bear - and eaten it, the WWF
and the National Geographic Society have said.
The giant catfish, believed to be the largest freshwater fish ever
found, was caught along the Mekong River, home to more species of massive
fish than any river on Earth.
"We've now confirmed that this catfish is the current record holder, an
astonishing find," Dr Zeb Hogan, a WWF Conservation Science Fellow,
said.
Project members determined that this new catch was 11 pounds heavier
than the previous record holder - another Mekong catfish.
"I expect we're still going to find bigger fish than these," said
University of Wisconsin fisheries biologist Zeb Hogan, the project director.
"It's astonishing."
According to Hogan, the Mekong has heretofore been a good habitat for
such monsters because it is one of the deepest rivers in the world,
reaching depths of more than 200 feet.
Local environmentalists and government officials tried to negotiate the
release of the fish so it could continue its spawning migration in the
far north of Thailand but the adult male died and was eaten in a remote
village, it said.
The Mekong giant catfish is southeast Asia's largest and rarest fish
and the focus of a National Geographic Society project headed by Hogan to
study freshwater fish more than two metres long or weighing more than
100 kg.
New contenders for the title of the world's largest freshwater fish
include Mongolian salmon, giant sturgeon, giant lungfish, razor-toothed
gar, the dinosaur-like arapaima, the giant freshwater sting ray and the
ever-popular dog-eating catfish.
