Huge Catfish

[tunchi]

It's Just a Catfish!

For all those crazy guys who go 'noodling' for catfish and stick their arms down the fish's throat!! This would be 'all the catfish you can eat',

Each year, a few people were drowning or disappearing mysteriously in Huadu's Furong Reservoir. It was not until recently, when the son of a government official went swimming, in the reservoir and was drowned, that the secret was revealed.

It is a 3 meter long man-eating catfish whose head alone is 1 meter wide!

After cutting up the catfish, people were surprised to find the remains of another man inside!

Swimming in the reservoir is now forbidden because it is feared another similar man-eating catfish is still lurking in the waters.

Naaah - that's a whale shark from the ocean. They're big, but they only eat plankton.

I thought this was going to be one of those hoary old "A scuba diver went down near the dam of XYZ reservior and saw a catfish sooo big...." instead it turned out to be an entirely different hoax.

Good try there though... better luck next time with the common sense!
