  • Dude, its Derpfish, the new gen Magikarp,

  • hes holding it above water to suffocate it because its got downs duh

  • @jougetsu That's why he isn't holding the fish above water, to avoid that from happening.

  • give it a dunce hat and it looks PERFECT!

  • This Thai fish lives in Kong River......the biggest size is up to 100-500KG.

  • DOWNIEs

  • Theres giant worms and catfish that eat goes inside you in the water

  • WTF,I live in Croatia,and i caught almost same fish like this????In Croatia,It's name is Amur!!!

  • @thekingbranko Amur looks completely different

  • @thekingbranko if you listen he says an adult gets to be about ten times that fishes size.

  • Let me tell you why the Mekong river has such large catfish and other large fishes than any other river in the world. It's because during the Vietnam war there are so many people die and the majority of them are thrown into the river where the fishes get to eat them. There are millions people died while crossing the river into Thailand. The fishes get to eat them that's why they grew so big. Don't believe me? Just feed the fishes in other countries human flesh and you'll find out.

  • @1lonelyhmoobFl they probably weren't eating people but rotting flesh probably attracted and fed a lot of larva growing insect communities OR just the nutrients from decomposition fed the fish....its not like the fish were eating corpses.

  • @1lonelyhmoobFl

    DUDE THIS FISH is herbivore they have no teeth they are canivore when they were young when they growth those is gone! LOL! The reason why this thing become big is all about genetic idoit

  • In thai we call that pla beuk(ปลาบึก)

    We not call that Giant catfish.

  • @Bossky2231 Bossขี้2231's barking me and it pls for a corrupted Thai officers to check up, bail or arrest me, just because I expressed true felling and comments on youtube! LOL! There you go guys in Thai laws you have got to be a cabbage if you are being a human with some intelligent then you will be a black sheep and will be treated brutally!

  • @Bossขี้2231 In Thai we call this fish " pla dook yalk" but Bossขี้2231 would like to tell the world that this fish is to call "pla beuk" and he's basically acts as a representative for the Thai nation to tell you guys that you shouldn't call this fish a Giant catfish!

  • @jusmine247 กับเด็กเก่งจริงนะมึง มาต่อยกับกูสักครั้งไหมไอ้ควายเ­ฒ่า

    มึงวอนมากนะไอ้สัด กูจะเรียกว่า ปลาบึก มึงมีปัญหาไหม

  • which is the world largest freshwater fish? is it the mekong giant catfish or arapaima gigas?

  • @strongmanpremanand in my experience its the mekong catdfich but if you research tells you diferently i would go with that

  • @xoxmarjane123 maybe i agree with you because one time i saw in the newspapers thailand fisherman caught a huge giant cat fish and its bigger than the arapaima

  • @strongmanpremanand yeah thats kinda what i based my answer on and i was watching hooked and they said it was too

  • Actually the second largest catfish is the blue catfish...

  • it's beautiful :')

  • lol It's like a catfish with down syndrome.

  • @dustylefou LMAO

  • @dru2727 not in length but in weight i think its true, they can be enormous

  • i saw a smallish alligator gar swimming on the surface near the seaweed-grass next to the shoreline in lake erie and we catch walleye, sunfish, perch, sheephead fish, catfish, small-mouthed bass and big-mouthed bass! ^_^ this is good enough for me, lol

  • my country again!

  • Is That a pokemon?

  • i first heard about this fish on wildboyz. they are beasts when theyre fully grown

  • Yo Zeb! Are Pangasius really endangered? I see them so common and are dirt cheap! I mean the Pangasius Sanitwongsei and Pangasius Hypophthalmus.

  • its cute to me

  • the eyes on that thing make it so innocent..AWWWW

  • fuck the mekong giant catfish faggot plankton eater. The real catfish are channels, blues, flatheads

  • why would you want to stick your fingers into it's mouth? -_-

  • @Kishimyu why not?

  • @Kishimyu because the mekong giant catfish is a herbivore it feeds on plants, so it doesnt need teeth

  • @Kishimyu why wouldnt you?

  • The fish looks so innocent and good

  • the 10 who disliked this didnt like the looks of their moma

  • no the largest freshwater fish is arapaima gawwsh

  • @boihaggos1

    Nope, once they discovered the mekong catfish they learned it can grow a foot longer than the arapaima. Not to mention this one is much heavier.

  • @NegiBozu Arapaimas grow 14 feet and Alligator gar used to grow the same size

  • The head looks like magikarp xD

  • u r all eating river catfish in tesco now

  • Did he just say 10 times this size? enormous whale :O ?

  • @DuoJT My guess is he meant weight and not length, since he said it's 50 lbs and an adult can reach 650 lbs.

  • Doesn't silurus glanis get pretty close to this size or bigger?

  • Adoyyyy

  • great fish

  • Say good-bye to the fish now that the Chinese had built the dam on the upper Mekong. Can you say DRY?

  • whats the difference between mekong and a paroon?

  • Yeah just put your fingers right in there.

  • lol

    

  • it sorta looks like an asian carp

  • I heard that the full grown cat fish have been known to pull small adults and children under the water to drown them then they digest them similar to the way a snake does.

  • I HAVE STARTED ARMAGEDDON.

  • Aww!!! The mouth is SOOO CUTE!!!

  • Awww, I want one.

  • in malaysia we call it patin, but cat fish is totally smaller than patin. we do love to eat patin, sometimes their meet get higher price in the local market. 

  • the europa catfish is better and longer !:D

  • @MegaAngelmaster haha what do you mean by "better"

  • @snehesten hm^^ hes stronger and hes longer :D

  • that fish looks like a dumbass

  • i bet u some asian already caught tht fish ur holding and sold it to another asian and they ate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • so this catfish probably wont hurt u

  • mekong giant catfish unfortunately not the biggest freshwater fresh. Look up the giant freshwater sting ray. It will surpass in terms of length(up to 16ft) and weight(up to 1600lb)

  • @thehantavirus haha freshwater fresh :D

  • Malaysia called Ikan Patin... very expensive fish

  • The biggest freshwater fish is not this. It's the Arapaima which can grow to 12 feet.

  • @KeenGlitch

    How about the freshwater stingray?.. I is know to be 15 Feet ACROSS!

  • @BholeViolater

    that's maybe how he caught the fish???

    twtching his thing then it came and bit it...

    like he said it has no teeth so yea...

  • Cuuute. It's so funny looking, but at the same time adorable. And it didn't seem very aggressive as he held it, just sort of flopping about.

  • leave the fish alone. he needs some cheese, thats all.

  • why would Tony Romo do this shit

  • Wow. Those fish can get pretty big!

  • i wanna see an adult catfish

  • This idiot american is killing this fish!!! The fish can't breathe out of water!!!

  • It's gills are on the side of it's head, which is in the water the whole time.  On top of that he's constantly putting it's gills back in water to keep them oxygenated. You're the idiot.

  • hi hi hi hi hi hi

  • 0:05 - 0:07

    is that the fish saying something?

  • bitcchchhhhhchchchc

    thats a big ass fish!!!!!!!

  • LOL...

    "So you can put your han.."

    *No wait that would kill them*

    "uh, fingers in there!"

  • I've vacation in Laos so many times. The Mekong River has the largest catfish in the world. Besides that, The Khone Falls in southern Laos is the widest waterfall in the world! About 6 miles wide! The best time to see it is during the monsoon rain season. It's awesome! The Garden of Eden!

  • Unfortunately people are killing them.

    Yay for smart guys boo for idiots. I might not get the chance to see them alive, sigh.

  • cool

  • haahahhahahahahahhaahhaahahaha­hahha "it has no teeth..so you can...uhh..put your ha...fingers right in there"

  • rofl just like the punani

  • omnomnom

  • wow, i would expect some sort of teeth on those chompers...interesting...

  • well..there goes Eden.....

  • You mean to tell me my 60 pound lunker was just a baby one?!!! OMG, what a fish! There must be a significant amount of vegetation and habitat to support such a fish. In the privately owned fish farm lakes of Thailand, they're fed rice and bread. They're easy to catch on rice, but it's said you would so easily catch it in the wild. Due to China and Laos looking to build hydropower dams, the habitat will be totally destroyed and it will only live on in fish farming ops.

  • dont wells catfish get just as big

  • any1 notice this guy sounds like eric from that 70 show kinda???

  • lol hes holding it out of water and hes talking about it going extinxt

  • Holey crap that is huge.... ha nice

  • On 1989 year, A bigger than a shark catfish swallow a little boy.Ita is bigger than a white shark!! It can live for 49years that say by a scientist!

  • retard

  • 0:23 lol

  • these catfish are known to eat a human but just the adults, these catfish had eaten humans before

  • i think i know what endangered means. lol

  • this fish is about 4 feet in length. an adult can grow up to 10 feet in length. an adult fish would be about 10 times this size. apparently adult giant cat fish are 40 feet long

  • Depends how you define size. If you're going by length, he's wrong. If you're going by weight, actual biomass, then he's right. I think we can infer which one he means.

  • another retard

  • the mekong giant catfish IS NOT the largest freshwater fish in the world. The Pirarucu is.

  • But the biggest freshwater fish was the Mekong Giant Catfish

  • I dont give a fk if the catfish is 10 times its original size, I just wanna eat that shiet with sticky rice and soysauce, why the fk yah think its going extinct? cuz that shiet taste good fools -GOOKS UP, FORK AND SPOON USERS DOWN =P

  • Wanna eat in fried & hot sauce

  • If you have not been to Thailand to catch and release these monster Plabuks, please keep negative comments to yourselves. Been there, done it. It's a very hardy fish and the NG reporter is handling this fish in the best possible way. Most of the sport fishermen in this paypond do take the fishes out of the water for photography and then release it. However, the fishes are being splashed with water continuously when out of the water. Thank you.

  • 5 stars

  • I agree it is cute

  • he keeps takin it out the water -_-

  • better than most other videos where they take it out completely and throw it on the ground
