Now That’s a Catfish I Wouldn’t Wanna Noodle

with 2 comments

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fishermen in northern Thailand have caught the biggest catfish on record — a 646-pound (293-kg) giant the size of a grizzly bear — and eaten it, the WWF and the National Geographic Society said on Wednesday.

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.

I love the fact that they ate it. Waste not, want not.

  1. Man I bet that big catfish tasted bad and was as tough as leather. Nice fish though maybe I should go fishing in that river.
