More like Holy Catfish! The pic dosen't look very convincing to me, for a cat that size it's belly should be sread out on the ground. If it is real I wonder what they used for bait?

"Called Pla Buek in Thai, the giant catfish can weigh as much as 650 pounds (300 kilograms) and measure up to 10 feet (3 meters) in length. They are the largest scaleless freshwater fish in the world."

Common Sense is an Uncommon Virtue.
99% of all lawyers make the rest look bad.
As you know the "mounted" fishes are but a fiberglass replica from the original, from which a mold was made.
If you look at that fish (upside up) it has the typical shape of a mounted/stuffed fish.
Those fish taxidermists can get very "creative" sometimes with your catch. Can you trust it? Possibly not.
