My wife's response to this when I read it to her;

"how'd those little people catch that fish?"

Then when I said "I can't wait to post THAT on the board" she replied "I'm not racist!"

Quote:

Thai fishers struggled for more than an hour to haul in this record-breaking Mekong giant catfish. Despite efforts to keep the bear-size catfish alive, it died and was later eaten by villagers.

The species is listed as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and faces a high risk of extinction in the wild. The rare specimen, captured in the Mekong River in Chiang Khong district, is the largest since Thailand began keeping records in 1981.
