Largest Catfish Ever Caught in Thailand

This massive, humongous, 8 foot-long catfish was caught in the Chiang Khong district of Thailand, and is believed to be the biggest freshwater fish ever caught. Sadly, this huge catfish is listed as “critically endangered” by the World Conservative Union.

Villagers that caught the catfish tried to keep it alive for as long as possible, but it died and eventually became dinner.
