This giant catfish, usually called a goonch, allegedly grew after getting food human corpses dumped in the Great Kali River, a river in Nepal-India border, where the fish was caught.

He then caught one are estimated to weight 55 kg with a length of almost 2 meters. Weight and size can be called a world record because it was much heavier and larger than fish catfish ever caught before. "If this fish to catch you, you will not get away", he said.

For years, residents along the Great Kali believe there was terrible monster lurking in the river that runs through the India-Nepal border this.

But, they thought the monster was always moving along the river and to target the people who bathe in the stream. Last year, teens 18 years of Nepal missing after being dragged into the river by something described as 'long pig shaped'.
