THE KING OF MONSTER FISH!!!

[scottv]

The PHAYA NAGA

Laotian/Thai legendary serpent! A big eel with a neat looking head....The legend behind it is very interesting, google it up....During the war, US servicemen caught one.

Do you believe it or not?


"Queen of Nagas" seized by US Army by electric fishing in 1973.

Those are cool. I looked them up b4. If any1 wants to type in "Oarfish" maybe 2 words i forget. I want to see a pic of it swiming. The ones i have seen are only like this one or of a dead one on the beach
