Big Fish

Random thought for the day - big fish...? Oh well, I will make it into a blog post! The largest current fish species is the whale shark and they can grow to be just over 40 feet long and weigh over 20 tons. The largest prehistoric fish was Leedsichthys which probably grew to over 50 feet long.

Here is a link to some of the largest sea creatures ever caught and they have some pretty cool pictures too. Below is a picture of the largest freshwater fish ever caught, the Giant Mekong Catfish and it was over 9 feet long and weighed 646 pounds. This article has more information about this catch as well as other fish that may rival this giant.
