Jeremy Wade, host of the TV show River Monsters, owns an impressive collection that includes a 280-pound stingray, a man-eating catfish, a giant piranha and a transgender fish.

Cá đuối (Myliobatoidei). Với hơn 30 năm kinh nghiệm câu cá, Jeremy Wade đi khắp thế giới để khám phá những con cá nước ngọt kỳ lạ nhất. Khó bắt gặp hơn cá biển do sống ở nơi tối tăm, ít ánh sáng chiếu tới, nhiều quái ngư trong bộ sưu tập của Wade được bắt lần đầu tiên trước ống kính máy quay. Wade chia sẻ với All that is interesting về trải nghiệm săn tìm cá hiếm của mình.
Stingrays (Myliobatoidei). With more than 30 years of fishing experience, Jeremy Wade travels the world to discover the most exotic freshwater fish. Harder to catch than saltwater fish because they live in dark places with little light, many of the monsters in Wade's collection are caught for the first time on camera. Wade shared with All that is interesting about his experience hunting for rare fish. "I caught this fish in Argentina, on the Paraná River. Stingrays are generally not fatal, unless you step on them, they will stab you in the leg. It's purely a self-defense instinct. As you can see, they are quite good at camouflage". "I estimate the weight of this fish at about 127 kg. It was the fish that took me the longest to conquer, nearly 4 hours of wrestling. There is no trick to catching a stingray, you just use a very heavy object and try to break the venomous spines under its body".
Congo tigerfish (Hydrocynus goliath). "I found this fish in the middle part of the Congo River system, which is rarely visited by people from the outside world, so most people don't know about it. It is related to the piranha. It is actually a giant piranha, which can grow to the size of an adult man. Its teeth are three centimeters long, the same size as a 1,000 pound great white shark."
Marmorata eel (Anguilla marmorata). "This fish was caught in Fiji. Marmorata are very interesting. They are one of the few fish that can live in both fresh and salt water, migrating back and forth between the two. Many people know that salmon swim into rivers to spawn, but freshwater eels do the opposite. They live in rivers but swim out to sea to spawn. No one knows exactly where they go." "There are rumors that marmorata eels will grab people, which is why I went there to find out. I think they might grab people, but many fish do that because they don't know what they're attacking. If they don't have good vision in the water, they just see something in front of them and mistake it for a small fish. Sometimes it can be someone's foot, but they don't know."
Largetooth sawfish (Pristidae). "This is a largetooth sawfish that lives in freshwater. It is 2.1 metres long and is a juvenile. This species can grow up to 6 metres long, but adults have never been seen because they are marine. I caught this fish in Western Australia. Largetooth sawfish were once widely distributed throughout the world, but their numbers have declined rapidly because they are easily caught in fishing nets. Rather than bother to remove the fish, fishermen often choose to kill them."
Freshwater anchovy (Aplodinotus grunniens). "These fish live in Guyana, on the northern edge of South America. They make a gurgling sound underwater, second only to howler monkeys. If you were on a boat and heard this sound, it would sound like you were sitting on a boiling kettle and you might think you were hallucinating."
River catfish (Bagarius yarrelli). "This fish comes from India, living in the foothills of the Himalayas, in a tributary of the Ganges. I've heard stories of people disappearing after being pulled into the water by strange objects. There are no crocodiles, pythons, river dolphins or bull sharks there, so this fish is the most likely candidate." "The river water is very muddy, so these fish grab anything that moves in front of them. They will grab it, then turn around and dive deep underwater. You won't be able to escape from the mouth of a river catfish because, unlike other catfish, they have very long, sharp teeth and strong jaws."
Catlocarpio siamensis. "This fish is native to Thailand. Normally, catlocarpi have their mouths hanging down because they feed on the river bottom, but this fish seems to have an upside-down mouth, evidence that it feeds in mid-stream, or possibly at the surface. Catlocarpi are very large, they can grow to over 70 kg."
Lamprey (Petromyzontiformes). "This fish lives in Lake Champlain, which borders Vermont and New York, USA. It is a primitive fish. It has no backbone and no teeth, just a sucker mouth with a ring of teeth inside. In the middle of the sucker mouth is a tongue, and on the tongue there are teeth. They usually feed by clinging to the skin of other fish and sucking the fluids in the body." "I once let a lamprey cling to my neck to experience that feeling. Its sucker mouth is very strong and after two seconds, the teeth start to pierce your skin. When you pull it out, you lose a whole piece of skin."
The water tigerfish (Salminus brasiliensis). "I caught this fish in a river between Argentina and Uruguay. They have very large and powerful teeth and jaw muscles. There, we learned about a young man who had lost part of his testicles and this fish was definitely the culprit. Once again, I have to confirm that the animal did not intend to attack, but had poor vision. When it saw something moving in the water, it simply lunged and bit."
Ray-finned fish (Lepisosteus osseus). "This fish lives in Lake Champlain. They are very old fish. They can come to the surface and gulp air, which allows them to live in water with little oxygen. This is a survival mechanism that allows them to live in conditions that other fish cannot live in. They are not dangerous to humans, but in the United States there is a larger ray-finned fish called Alligator Gar that weighs at least 300 pounds and has frequent reports of bite victims."
Queensland grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus). "I was hunting for bull sharks and accidentally caught this fish in the mouth of the Brisbane River, Australia. Groupers are one of the few species that can change sex from female to male. In the case of one male and multiple females, if the male is taken away or dies, the largest female will become the male."
European catfish (Silurus glanis). "This fish lives in Europe and I caught the fish in the photo in Spain. It weighed 73 kg and was 2.1 m long. Its bite is easily recognizable because the small teeth are close together, forming a slightly curved line about 25 cm long. The interesting thing about this fish is that they bite people even when the water is clear and they know that people are there. The reason is because they are very protective of their nests. If someone swims too close to the nest, they will bite to warn them. For the victims, the experience is quite scary because of the pain and surprise."
