Today's Washington Post Kids Post section had an AP photo-story that made the grown-up section of most other papers around the world: fishermen in Thailand caught a catfish officially weighed at 646 pounds!

Big question: how do you cook a fish like that?

I'm thinking some swimming pool set up as a deep fryer.

My big question was how they caught it!

I'm hoping noodling wasn't involved...

I have heard that at one time, catfish this big were common in certain rivers in the US.

There is an interesting article on the role of carp and other fish including catfish at Carp Angelers' Group.

They probably just used an industrial machine to cut it up and cook it in pieces.
