Is this a freak mutation or a sign of “global weirding” to come?

it is real wt u on about
Actually, I just watched this on Animal Planet…it’s a true story.
This is real, I JUST watched this man on Animal Planet. I know that it LOOKS unbelievable, but it is REAL. It’s amazing! In India, in the Kali RIver! I can’t even imagine of a catfish feeding on humans or of a fish growing to that size! X)You should really watch a video about this certain fish, it’s truly amazing! I mean, only if you wish to

Goonch Catfish is very big and heavy and powerful but fresh-eat carefully. 8 feet height / 9 feet height. 85 Kg / 150 Kg / 200 Kg and more. 40 feet deep of water in the river…Goonch Catfish mouth is full of teeth and is also very powerful they bite small fish hooks…learn how to catch a big Goonch Catfish
1. Rod Reel Strong Fishing
2. Take raw prawn
3. Big hook is very strong
i believe tihs is real because people see the big catfish in the mississppi river
This is a REAL photo and a REAL fish. I just watched the show on Animal Planet, and watched that old guy actually reel it in on a rod ‘n’ reel. It wieghed 161 pounds and is about 6ft long, although NOT large enough to be a “man eater” it proves that they do get BIG.
That was a good show, just wish he could have somehow managed to catch, or even catch a glimpse, of the giant Goonch that ate a freaking buffalo!
People would be absoluately shocked by how large catfish and sturgeon can get. In Washington when she was younger my mom told me about a dam there where on a clear day you could see the bottom, and a few times she swore she saw a catfish the size of a Volkswagon Van on the bottom.
That’s a big fish. I’m watching that guy right now trying to catch a giant catfish in Europe.
It’s real a monster in Cali River India.
Congratulations to cientific.
the fish is very dangerous by the India people who live in Cali River

im watching that old guy looking for the killer fish right now on discover
They say that they get this large because they partialy burn the dead on the river banks and throw the reamins in the water. THey say its the diet of humans that is making them so large. I watched this show a couple days ago.
this guy is for real i bought the dvd river monsters when it came out and the only bad thing is he talks about man eater size but rarely are that size they should show really land some of the monsters
that is a mother
I’m watching the rerun right now. These fish do get”big”. But remember, a shark only 6 feet in length can make a meal of aman. So why the doubt about the Goonch?
The photo is just a representative of how big these fish can get, but it isn’t that of the man-eating catfish itself. It would have to be FIVE times bigger than the fish in the photo to be able to swallow a buffalo!
