Check on Goggle for Thailand fishing trips. Man you wont beleive what they can catch right off the shore.
I have seen a 10' and it was magnificent. Always on the move and always hungry

you may search them in engines using words such as : arapima, arapima gigas, pirarucu and arowana sites as well. Some arowana sites have little info re them since they are cousins of the arowana ;)
