7. And was probably over 100 yrs old.

8. I’ve seen humpback whales and orcas in person but this picture gives me the creeps.

   It makes me feel like… I don’t know… something which looks like ‘a fish’ shouldn’t be THIS big, especially not if it lives in a river?!

9. A village in Slovakia called Nesvady is famous for hunting those fish in Danube river. Look at the coat of arms https://www.nesvady.sk/mesto/zakladne-info/heraldika/

10. How do you even capture something this big? Fishing net made out of rope? Boats with harpooners? Small children as bait?

11. The Tsar Fish!

12. Masterfish

13. Market price for Beluga caviar is roughly $7,000/kg, so this big ~~boy~~ momma would be worth $1.4 million.

14. Blech. A finned dick.

15. dammit that some big fish! But usually big fishes doesn’t taste as good as young ones, therefore it’s better to release them back to water.
