ShaunWilkinson/iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — How many people does it take to catch what may be the world’s largest freshwater fish?
A team including TV host Jeff Corwin and veterinarian Nantarika Chansue caught and released a giant stingray in Thailand’s Mae Klong River that’s estimated to weigh between 700 and 800 pounds, according to National Geographic.
The stingray measured over 14 feet long and over 8 feet wide, according to Corwin’s Facebook page.
But the animal’s exact weight couldn’t be recorded because it was so large, National Geographic reported, and it’s unknown whether it will break the world record for largest freshwater fish.
The stingray “is doing well and thriving,” Corwin said on Facebook, and will be featured in an upcoming episode of Corwin’s ABC show Ocean Mysteries.
