Too bad the fish died but I imagine you really have to tire out a fish that size to land it. At least it didn't go to waste.

SheTies;
You beat me to it dang it!! I'll bet that fish was a big one back in 62/63 too.
I was suprized that they have only been keeping records since 81!!

Leo,
We used to sneak off & swim in a lake between Pleiku & the Cambodian border....DAMN!...I shoulda been fishin! wonder how old that sucker was & how many folks it fed?

Forget how many people ate it, how many did IT eat over the years?
Yes it is bad it died, the Mekong giant catfish was listed as critically endangered in 2003.

Dang Jax, I just wanna see the hook you would have to use!!!

Saw the picture too. If you read through it you saw that they caught it in a net and not on any kind of hook and tackle...Heck, you'd never tire that thing out enough to land it (beach it) if you did!
