The world’s largest recorded freshwater fish, a giant stingray, has been caught in the Mekong River in Cambodia, according to scientists from the Southeast Asian nation and the United States.
The stingray, captured on June 13, measured almost four meters (13 feet) from snout to tail and weighed slightly under 300 kilograms (660 pounds), according to a statement Monday by Wonders of the Mekong, a joint Cambodian-U.S. research project.
The previous record for a freshwater fish was a 293-kilogram (646-pound) Mekong giant catfish, discovered in Thailand in 2005, the group said.

I remember when Jeremy Wade was fishing for them. He caught a huge one but got tagged with a double whammy of having his line break and a tendon in his bicep too.

Bet that would make some good Garfish balls.

Hopefully they put it back cause i doubt that would be even worth eating.

Nothing worse than fighting a fish for a while and pulling up a stingray.

I bet that is way more disgusting than any river in Louisiana.

That Mekong river must produce some crazy big fish

I really enjoyed River Monsters. There's just only so many giant fish in the world though. The arapaima was insane.

Hey, that’s the fish that spit my hook the other day.
Posted on 6/20/22 at 12:27 pm to Jimmy2shoes
I bet that catfish put up a better fight though

The Zebco 777 never fails to disappoint landing a big fish.

Doesn't the Guinness book list the beluga sturgeon as the world's biggest freshwater fish? Some fish from the 1800s weighed over 3,000 pounds supposedly
