    Excerpt
    A fisherman on the Mekong River in Cambodia has hooked the biggest freshwater fish ever recorded, scientists said — a 300-kilogram stingray. The giant freshwater stingray, which measured 4 meters (13 feet) from snout to tail, was caught last week and released back into the wild after being fitted with a tag to track its behavior. The monstrous bottom-dweller beat the previous record for biggest recorded freshwater fish, held by a 293-kilo (646-pound) Mekong giant catfish caught in Thailand in 2005, the US-funded Wonders of the Mekong research project said.
