Anglers have a reputation for, let's say, stretching the truth, but I don't think anybody's 'the one that got away' fish is as big as this one:
Largest-recorded freshwater fish caught, tagged and released in Mekong River, Cambodia

Time to up the antics? For example, 'Oh yeah. The one that I nearly caught was that size between the eyes'.
The good news there was that they actually tagged and released it, well done! Nice to hear for a change Ian
Which proves that swimming in sewage make you grow bigger.
I have heard that they catch huge *blind mullet* over there as well
It is difficult to tag a *blind mullet* apparently the tag wont stay in the soft portion.
