lol, that's crazy. If I was that fish I'd cuddle up in that girl's hand like that too! That's no trick that fish is a man baby! lol. Good find, I was checking out some crazy huge rtc that some guy was catching. One appeared to be over 60-70 lbs.
 
Some of those records seem a little far fetched. Like the Planiceps 220 lbs? Come on now lol. The world record is currently 27 lbs, and that thing was nearly 4 1/2' long. A 220 lbs planiceps would be like 10-12' long. IMO. Just some of them seem far fetched, and makes me wonder if they are reports from people and not actual studied specimens to make sure it was the right species. Looking at that jau record though wow. From everything I've read and heard, a 600 lbs. jau could be possible. Some of those are just nuts. Not so sure on a 300 lbs. fasciatum either, but a corruscans at 300+ seems completely possible. I posted pics in the shovelnose thread of a fish that was well over 125 lbs, but have yet to see a fasciatum over 80 lbs. This is just my 2 cents. The glanis records all seem valid, I know for a fact some of those larger specimens were collected in the last century. The blue catfish also seems in order. Those are well documented at those sizes over a century ago also. Only a few big suprises there. Filamentosum over 1200 lbs. seems possible too.

This one has got to be about the 80lb mark but 300 that is a BIG FISH!
