biggest catfish (646 lbs.) ever is caught in Mekong River
June 30, 2005According to the National Geographic Society and the World Wildlife Fund, it was the size of a grizzly. Not only was it caught, but it was also eaten. By an entire village, maybe. Amazing pictures accompany the article. No details on how the fishermen actually landed the beast, although we can only guess that it was with great difficulty.
More on the ‘king of fish’ here.

Thanks, Lindsay, for calling my attention to a broken link, now fixed. The National Geographic site has several pictures.
