| Quote: | BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Thai fishermen caught a catfish weighing 293 kilograms - 646 pounds - which is believed to be the world's largest freshwater fish ever recorded, a researcher said Thursday.
The 2.7-metre (8.9-foot) Mekong giant catfish was netted 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. |

Besides the threads that rynner mentioned others that might be of interest:
The Naga of Thailand
Mekong Monsters
and the (coincidently?) bumped yesterday China's Kanasi Lake Monster which mentions the 'find huge freshwater fish' expedition that is mentioned in the first post. |
