The goonch catfish also known as the giant devil catfish or by its scientific name
Bagarius yarrelli is a large type of freshwater fish found primarily in the waters of Northern India. This fish is very responsible from its odd looks including skin color, whiskers shape, and size. However, the most infamous feature of this freshwater fish is its large teeth! This is because the vast majority of catfish species do not have any noticeable teeth!
The largest confirmed goonch catfish caught on rod and reel was 192 lbs! But there have been many unconfirmed reports of 300+lb specimens. Not much is known of this fish from being quite rare, and living in isolated areas, but some people believe this fish will and has attacked humans, but this has never been confirmed.
