Holy crap.

-- Gomer

wow...when you wrote biiiig fish i thought it was big..but this is a huge fish

I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

as in the words of Gomer "Holy Crap!"

72 gallon bowfront:Tanganyikan Lake set up
75 gallon: A. Baenschi trio,Cyanotilapia Afra Cobwe(4), copadichromis trewavase, protomelas sp. tangerine tiger(breeding pair)

wow

And to think he began as a small fry at one time...I didn't read the whole thingdid it say how old they estimate him/her to be?

As neat as it is to have caught him, it's kind of sad at the same time that the largest freshwater fish ever has been caught

Oh heck, my emotions are topsy turvy...

Let's just say I don't think that "little guy" will fit in a 125 gallon, much less a 10 gallon

heidi

It's too bad they had to eat him, he should of been let go.

It seems likes the fish should be eating the fishermen instead...

erm...

Opiate..press on the link..Biiig fish

according to the article, they wanted to let him go, but he died before they could release him

That's is a HUGE fish.......
How can I better describe what's in my mind.....

Well I won't get into trouble this time, cause someone else used it too....

HOLY CRAP THAT"S A HUGE CAT!!!!

how could they eat all that!!!! lol they should have let it go! ]:|

I disagree with letting a fish like that go as 9/10 fish that are caught and let go die soonly after. Generally the younger the fish the better chance of surving. This fish was obviously very old so it probably would have died a couple of days later anyway.

IMO, since the fish is a member of a critically endangered species, they need all the help they can get.

--------------------------------------------
The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

but look at where it was.

a remote villiage in thiland, who knows how many people live there, and what their food status is.

As far as I am concerned, as long as that fish was eaten, it probably fed the entire villiage, which, they may not even see a decent meal every day.

You never know what their food status is, so as long as it isn't going to waste, thats fine by me.

And as someone said, even if it was released, maybe the stress of it being hauled ashore and then photographed, etc and then being released back into the wild would have stressed it out.

Just like whales and dolphins, the way water is makes the weight less in water than would it be on land, so whats to say the sheer weight of this cat its internal organs were affected by the time spent on land?
