Biggest Cats

[silverdragon]

Man these catfish are unbelievable!! One of Gods wonders..

"Fishers in northern Thailand netted this huge catfish in the Mekong River on May 1. Nearly nine feet long (2.7 meters) and as big as a grizzly bear, the behemoth tipped the scales at 646 pounds (293 kilograms). Experts say the fish, which belongs to the species known as the Mekong giant catfish, may be the largest freshwater fish ever recorded."

Check out this little story..

"The myths about monster catfish that these huge catfish specie have created are that they eat children. This might sound like a macabre myth but the truth is that at least the wells Catfish is know to eat small mammals and their exist an supposedly “confirmed” report about a young boy being eaten by a monster wells catfish almost 50 years ago. However this is, if true, a freak incident and should not to be considered as anything else. The truth is that catfish usually don’t eat children, our babies, even if they are large enough to do so."

"The myths about monster catfish in the US are however much more pleasant then the myths about monster catfish in Europe and Asia where there exists much larger species of catfish like the European Wels catfish that can be 5 m / 16.5 ft long and weigh 300 kg/ 660 lb (there are unconfirmed reports of larger fish). More than four times the size of the biggest reported catfish caught in the US and more then 5 times the biggest confirmed catfish catch in the US. Another giant can be found in the Mekong delta in Laos and Cambodia where the Giant Mekong Catfish can reach the in comparison relatively modest size of 3m / 10ft but these giant can reach weights upwards to 350 kg/ 770lb which makes them heavier then the length vice larger wells catfish. Both these monster catfish species are contenders for the throne of the largest freshwater fish in the world."
