Coool! But there’s loads of other huge fish to be capture be recreational anglers that go fishing in Thailand as you can see. And many of them are in fact from the Amazon!

Awesome Stingray. There seem to be huge fish in Thailand. I wonder why that is. Is the water less fished in their area of the world? Or, these just bigger breeds of fish.

Excellent comments! I see the link to the Times is broken. I guess I will have to research this one again. Thanks for reading.
