Thai fishermen catch 646-pound catfish

Story from the Star Tribune. I'm not sure if this happened yet or is the reporter predicting the future (check out the date near the by-line). Regardless, my favorite part of the story is:

The fishermen had hoped to sell the fish to environmental groups, which planned to release it to spawn upriver, but it died before it could be handed over and then was chopped up and sold in pieces to villagers as food.

Give or take, that's about 636 pounds heavier than the biggest fish that I ever caught.
