646-lb catfish caught in Thailand, may be record

646-lb catfish caught in Thailand, may be record: "Mark Frauenfelder: Fishermen in Thailand caught what might have been the largest freshwater fish known to man -- a 646-lb whopper of a catfish.

When wildlife officials caught wind of the catch they urged the villagers to release the adult male so that it could spawn, but it later died and was eaten, the groups said. They did not say when the massive fish was caught.
