Post by: Seeker on June 30, 2005, 08:24:32 AM: I've swam in the river at Kanchanaburi; in the river Kwai which is an upper tributary of the Mekong; and whilst the lokals assured me they didn't get that big there (they had lots of little ones in the local markets); I have to admit to a vicarious thrill every time I felt a cold current between me legs :)

Post by: RTR on June 30, 2005, 10:06:14 AM: It was caught in a net.

Also, apparently it isn't a predator. It's a bottom feeder and eats its vegetables! (I find that kinda hard to believe).

I think I would be hard pressed to take a swim in the Mekong:eek:

The largest freshwater fish is a dinosaur that can grow up to 20 feet in length and weigh 1500 lbs. Some people think it's eggs taste good.

Damn the news is wrong a lot these days.

Post by: Suave on June 30, 2005, 10:22:25 AM: LOL, how would you like to be out on your pontoon boat with your little electric trolling motor and snag into a 1500lb armored fish with your zebco!

I wonder how many times thats happened and dude just shrugged it off as probably snagged a log or something.
