So you thought you had a big fish story


Anglers have a reputation for, let's say, stretching the truth, but I don't think anybody's 'the one that got away' fish is as big as this one:  biggrin

 

Largest-recorded freshwater fish caught, tagged and released in Mekong River, Cambodia 

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-21/world-s-largest-freshwater-fish-discovered-in-cambodia/101169354

 

Time to up the antics? For example, 'Oh yeah. The one that I nearly caught was that size between the eyes'.  biggrin

Nice to hear for a change

I have heard that they catch huge *blind mullet* over there as well biggrin  biggrin

It is difficult to tag a *blind mullet* apparently the tag wont stay in the soft portion. biggrin
