The "giant" catfish was sold by Mr. Kha Van Dau to a restaurant in Muong Xen town for 280 thousand VND/kg.
"It's been decades since we've seen a fish this big. These fish are getting rarer and rarer," said Mr. Dau.
Catfish is currently a delicacy sought after by many people because its meat is delicious. However, over-hunting of this fish has also caused it to gradually become depleted.
