oh thanks
 
It's not a Jau; we had this discussion a while back it was a Piraiba and by my guestimates over 400lbs based on its size compared to other large piraibas I've found with pics/accurate weights. That is probably one of, if not the biggest catfish recorded that was caught on rod and reel however the biggest overall caught was that mekong giant catfish at 644lbs caught last june 2006 I believe or june 2005 I don't remember which.
 
that peacock bass in his gallery is huge!
the thing looks like it's 4'!!

how did they catch the mekong? a net?
