According to Mr. Thang, this fish was caught by people using cuttings to release it from the lake bed. This fish escaped from the fish cages on the lake when it was still small, so it grew faster than the fish raised in the same cage. And according to Mr. Thang, this is the biggest bass ever caught in Que Phong.
