Oh man, my dream is to go fishing in South America for some monster peacocks, Payara, and some of the GIANT catfish species they have down there. I am convinced, excuse me as I dont have a common name for the fish, Brachyplatysoma filamentosum could possibly be one of the largest if not the largest 100% freshwater boney fish in the world. The 600lb Mekong Catfish that I'm sure yall have seen pictures of circulating in emails (the giant catfish dead on the blue tarp) is currently the largest freshwater boney fish caught. I think B. filamentosum could be bigger because of that Hunt for Big Fish episode where Larry caught that eight footer he eastimated to be 400+ pounds. The Mekong Catfish are heavily pressured so catching the odd giant isnt that so far fetched, but B. filamentosum are not. Larry trekked deep deep into the jungle and fished a spot for a couple of days more then 100ft deep and caught that monster. I guess what I am trying to say is, the odds of that 8ft fish being the biggest considering they are hardly ever fished and an eight footer is caught in a short time span is small, there has to be bigger out there!
