Giant Catfish Fishing. Normally, you don't really associate the land of giants to any Asian countries. You, typically, associate that to Africa in case of animals (like the elephant, hippopotamus and rhinoceros) or America in case of animals (like the grizzly bear and the moose). Actually, the land of Asian giants here are not land bound. They are lake bound. They are found in Thailand; part of the Southeast Asia peninsula. Here, in Bung Sam Lan Lake are where the giants are found. Bung Sam Lan is one of the most extraordinary fisheries in the world. It is a lake of about twenty acres, which was converted seventeen years ago from a swamp. It is stocked with a huge variety of native Thai and imported fish: Giant Mekong Catfish from 15 kg to 100 kg +, Striped Catfish from 5 kg to 15 kg, Chaophraya Giant Catfish from 2 kg to 30 kg +, Giant Siamese Carp from 20 kg to 100 kg +, Amazonian Arapaima from 110 kg to 200 kg +, Pacu from 2kg to 9 kg, Giant Snakehead from 4 kg to 15 kg, Rohu from 2kg to 10 kg, Small Scale Mud Carp 1kg to 10 kg, Hoeven's Slender Carp (1 kg to 8 kg), and many more Thai species. The Mekong Giant Catfish are originally a species found living only in the Mekong River. Hence, that's where the name came from. These fish have become know as the real giants of the catfish world. Pound for pound these fish, embarrasses other catfish species into submission.
