Locals have believed for years that a mysterious monster lurks in the water. But they think it has moved on from scavenging to snatching unwary bathers who venture into the Great Kali, which flows along the India-Nepal border.
The extraordinary creature has been investigated by biologist Jeremy Wade for a TV documentary to be shown in Britain.

That’s a Mekong River catfish, not a goonch.

Could I have some tartar sauce and hushpuppies with my rotten human flesh that formerly belonged to that naive swimmer/clothes washer on the banks of her village that I just plucked from the shallows, please ma’am?

Wade discounted theories that crocodiles could be responsible for the carnage before turning his attention to goonches — among the world’s biggest freshwater fish.
He caught one which tipped the scales at 161 lbs and was nearly 6 feet long — a world record weight and far bigger than any landed before.
“If that got hold of you, there’d be no getting away,” he said.

If only I could catch a catfish that big around here. “Remember when ol’ anti caught that big catfish way back in ‘08...” I’d be famous, and I wouldn’t have to buy fish for a year.

I’ve heard stories of St. Louis police looking on the bottom of the Mississippi river for weapons and encountering catfish that are so big they just sit on the bottom with their mouths open and catch whatever comes along. I think I remember the stories saying these fish were over 12’ long. Does anyone have anything that confirms these fish stories?

Yeah, a couple of years ago I hooked one of those catfish near St.Louis and it towed my boat all the way up to Minneapolis.
I took pictures, but the developers lost the film.
