This humongous catfish still holds the record for being the largest Freshwater fish in the world! It weighed 646 pounds. The fish was caught in the Mekong River Basin, Southeast Asia by researchers studying and identifying large fish around the world. It was not caught by rod and line but with a net. They say it was the size of a large Grizzly bear.
