The "giant" catfish was sold by Mr. Kha Van Dau to a restaurant in Muong Xen town for 280,000 VND/kg.
"It's been decades since we've seen a fish this big. Fish are becoming increasingly rare," said Mr. Dau.
Catfish is a delicacy that many people hunt for because its meat is very delicious. However, over-hunting of this fish has also caused it to gradually become depleted.
