I don’t mean a man who eats catfish either…. I mean this catfish eats people.
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.
Thanks Gary J
That unfortunately is a ocean living, plankton eating, whale shark and not a catfish
That is a whale shark… not a catfish…
They are not man-eaters, they eat krill and plankton…
Incidentally it is considered “vulnerable” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature”, so it is a terrible shame they felt the need to kill it…
Sad…
yeah. What Stick said.
And it is even a young one. Grownup’s are about 14 meter. I, as a diver, wish to see one once in real life…But alive!
Such a beautiful animal… shame.
Morons.
Look, no teeth. They seem worried about something.
They’re worried people in the Internet will think they are morons.
too bad it isn’t true, we eat them, they eat us – its only fair
So…if it’s not a man-eater, and it doesn’t have teeth, and it’s so “beautiful”, how did a man get inside??
Where’s the evidence? Proof of human remains in the whale shark? No pictures of that and no reliable source of this.
DJ, remember the video of a cow giving birth to the guy a while back?
There was going to be a sequel,….”weird dude born again”… then those idiots spoiled everything
Don’t take everything you read as gospel DJ.
This animal did not devour a human, and most certainly was not found in a “reservoir”…
Someone has created a mock story… which you have fallen for (to coin a phrase), hook, line and sinker…
What are the odds? Let’s ask Leroy..http://www.vegas.com/gaming/sportsbooks/silverton.html
I am all over the Cardinals!!!!!
That is very interesting, but doubtful. Can I have the link to where the real story is?
…Stick you could not have said it better… this story is listed as a hoax…
They(whale sharks) are exclusively herbivores and they have not the teeth or other possibilities to attack other animals or humans.
Oops. I bit. Somebody snip this hook and throw me back in.
If that was a Catfish….it would have whiskers….but it dont…..and how did a Whale Shark end up in an Asian country…..summit aint right
…Taffy the whale shark is listed as the largest fish in the sea. It prefers the warm water and habits all tropical seas…it is considered threatened. The story states it was caught in a resevior which are most often fresh water… the one positive of the story is more people know about this fish than before…
At least make it a funny hoax, like a kitten of the sea maneating tuna. Or a photoshopped guppy. OM NOM
^ …hippies. 😛

I’m fairly impressed how few people, other than DJ, were taken in by this, and how much everyone seemed to know about Whale Sharks.
GO B&P FOLKS!

thts so depressing about those people i feel really sad for them
I always knew that watching National Geographic and the Discovery Channel would come in handy some day!
kinda sad how a beautiful specimen like that gets killed. it’s not even dangerous.
I saw one today whilst diving off Abu Dhabi, hopefully the Atlantis Hotel will refrain from catching anymore in Dubai. Muppets.
i have actually investigated with my team of geologist the inevitability of an oversized goonch catfish living in the kali river in northern india nepal border fed by the ritual berrial of the native tribes dead these catfish seem to have grown drastically by feeding on these human remains we have seen proof of the locals water buffalo being attacked and sometimes eaten by these large goonch catfish so though this is a whale shark there is logical proof of giant man eating catfish i have also heard stories from the locals but have not found hard evidence of these oversized goonch catfish eating local peoples that have bathed or gone for a swim in the river.
if you have any questions please post them on this same blog
WOW thats a shame thats a harmless whale shark not a catfish……….UHHHH people need 2 b educated
IT is a cat fish beacause u R all morons
mmmmmmorrrrrrrrrroooooonnnssssssssss
Yes there is a such thing as a man eating catfish. I love watching the animal plant shows and stuff like that and the eat human flesh because it is of some sort of religion to burn a person after they die and the dump the burnt remains into the river where the catfish or whatever they call it feed off of this. So all of u who say there isn’t there is .
juno25, it may somewhat resemble a catfish but do some research befor you call someone a moron ya deuche
IT IS A WHALE SHARK FOR SURE
That’s just horrible, one can clearly see it’s a whale shark. Like many said (I can’t remember names) they’ve yet to find actual proof of human remains, just an excuse to cut up the first dinner those morons have had in two months. I feel bad for those beautiful creatures though it is fair as we eat them (yes, people do eat whale illegally just like dolphin and sharks.) This just goes to show what ignorance and the internet in illegitimate matrimony can produce.
Wait, So you’re saying a whale and a shark did the dirty and this is their child? Damn.
damn.!! this is NOT a giant catfish… It’s a whale shark.! poor thing caught by these morons…
thats a whale shark dumbass! they dont eat people. they are not even capable of swallowing or digesting a human!
