When I was a kid growing up in the Philippines. My Dad's friend was a HARDCORE Mosnter fish keeper. He had 3 16ft specimens house in a special pond/vat that was at least 20-30ft deep and was surrrounded with a metal fence to prevent jump outs. One side of the fence was all dented like a freaking motorcycle ran ito it. I asked the fish caretaker what happened. He said "It tried to jump out and dented the fence." :22_yikes:
Nice pick up Koji!! keep us posted on the growth.
I wanna see it THIS BIG!!

largest giga's i've ever seen was a couple years ago,at a zoo on okinawa. was easily over 12ft. i was showing my wife some 3ft long silver aro's and gars, when all of a sudden this massive beast floated up from the bottom of the tank. i had never seen a fish like that before, and at first i though it was a alligator, then i saw it's head. wife was pretty freaked out. beautiful fish koji, can't wait to see how big it gets.
