Bigger Fish to Fry
· A fish as big as a bear was caught by villagers in northern Thailand, according to a report released yesterday. The 646-pound Mekong giant catfish, caught last month, is believed to be the largest freshwater fish ever seen.
"An astonishing find," said Zeb Hogan, who heads a World Wildlife Fund and National Geographic Society project to study large freshwater fish. "It's amazing to think that giants like this still swim in some of the world's rivers."
The nine-foot catfish, an adult male, died before it could be returned to the Mekong River, so the villagers -- not wanting to pass up a good meal -- ate it.

I wonder how much oil it took for them to fry that baby up!
