This Mekong giant catfish was caught in Chiang Khong, Thailand, in 2005 and weighed in at 645 pounds. It was nearly nine feet long and is listed as the world's largest freshwater fish ever caught. Based on it and other giant catfish, experts estimate a fully mature male can be 10 feet long and weigh more than 700 pounds.
