It is a Piraiba catfish also called a Lau-Lau. Brachyplatystoma filamentosum. The IGFA all tackle world record is 295 lb. 8 oz. from Brazil. If Larry Dahlberg, a very famous angler, had kept this fish, he would have the record. I read all 123 comments and at least 120 of them should be removed by the authors because they are either misplaced or show the stupidity of the author or both. Idiots.
with all of the fake world hunger out there im suprised no on cared that it was returned to the river only to be washed out to sea someday dead and rotting.
that beast could have fed hundreds for a day. but, like i have said my personal research shows the wold is hungry but not starving to death.
Unfortunately you are quite wrong. Brown people and their ineffective slash and burn agriculture are destroying the world one acre at a time. Its ok, they could have ate that fish and every one like it and then made babies that have no more fish to eat.
unfortunately you are quite wrong. effective slash and burn agriculture practiced wold wide was so effective it increased the human population from an almost endangered species to 6.7 billion.
not only that. the most populated regions of the planet have the highest obesity rates. quite the opposite of the propaganda spewed forth from the mouths of the self proclaimed experts.
So animals can live on cleared land then? Eating them is not destroying the population, habitat distruction for thick headed fuckholes like yourself is. Liberal fucktard, no wonder your wife left you, most likely for a black man.
"You're" stupid ass manly remarks pretty much sum up how the earth will end. Stupid people breeding without a care in the world where tomorrows food will come from. Guess what, If modern farming methods arent utilized, the majority of people on earth today would starve.
All that would take that to happen is a little unrest. We're teetering on the edge, just how long will it be before we lose our footing.
Stupidity is your name. Correction: Developed countries are destroying the world. And by the way, babies are successful genes passing to next generations, in your case, an accident
and technique if you saw the video before he doesn't just stand he bends his knee's and pushes his butt out and lowers his center of gravity making for more stability , if he hadn't have it would have pulled him right off the boat.
oyu cant shoot that in the head you have too respect something that has lived/survived that long to grow that big and not to have some dumb ass shoot it in the head....
yeah, they are pretty rare. not rare, secretive. dahlberg pulled it ou from under a waterfall. they are also found under rock ledges and between Amazon sponge beds. the reason they like waterfalls is that a few leave thick mats of foam over hundreds of feet of surface, leaving darkness underneath which is a great place to ambush prey. they eat anything they can, snakes, capybaras, piranahs, payaras. theyeven ambush people and drag under. this thing is more feared than any snake,stingray,piranah.
SMX150, do you even know what this is? Its brachyplatystoma filamentosum aka piraiba. One of the largest catfish in the world and they can get that size and possibly bigger. Do your research before you spout off something you have no idea about.

its real iv a catfish nd i got it wen it was 5inches nwnow its bout 2foot!!! nd it can get bigger nd trust that catfish is real its 1 of da biggest in da world and its aint mean nd it dont drag ppl underwater nd its wudnt eat ya i no bcoz mines da friendliest fing in da world!!! they get bigger than thta a mekong wud b bigger dan dat!!!
guys it is not fake!!!!!!!!!!!!, i saw the full fight of it on tv. the show is called larry dahlbergs hunt for big fish, it is not plastic it is real!!!, the fish ate a 2 pound bate and took of, please, dont call things fake or unless u know 4 a fact it is fake
Ninja, piraiba get way bigger than 50 to 100 pounds. There are several videos of ones that were 200 ppounds. This definitely is a monster catfish and probably can get even bigger than this! There are several people in the United States who own small baby piraibas and are trying to raise it up big! I myself own 2 baby b. filamtonsums!!!!!
not the biggest anymore :) new world record is 215kg
