A few hours from where I live are places to catch these fish, not full grown ones though, or atleast i've never seen a 20 foot one caught in magazines or anywhere.

This catfish, and the arapaima are both smaller than some sturgeon species but the larger sturgeon specimens spend some time in marine and brackish waters.
