Something Just Brushed Up Against My Foot! (Giant Freshwater Fish)

Written by The Naib

There was a time before sonar, before every part of the earth was google mapped, before we knew what lurked in the depths of rivers, a time of gods and demons. Human beings used to fear and respect the giant creatures that lived in the depths of our fresh water rivers and lakes. Luck for us these creatures still roam the planet, and are every bit as interesting now as they were then.

We have talked about large freshwater fish here before. Below are a collection of other amazing and giant freshwater fish.

Alligator Gar (these used to live in Ohio!! where I grew up as a boy)

There are many humongous fish out there and they are all interesting and worth saving.

I am very comforted by the fact that these giants still roam this planet, and think we should do everything in our power to preserve and study these amazing, and freaking redonkulous sized fish.

Habitat loss and over fishing are the main causes of the die off of these giants.

Love the wicked big fish pics! I actually was browsing a pretty neat fish store in Framingham this weekend: Tropic Isle Aquarium. Found out that maybe some of my own fish may slowly be on their way to becoming mac daddies some day :)

[...] have talked a lot about fish here on this website. Not only are they fascinating (and sometimes HUGE) creatures, but they provide a large portion of the planet with an important source of protein. [...]

WOW!!!!!! Fish are really interesting to me. Although I am really scared of most of them. Those are amazing and they look like they would have taken forever to get out of the water. That just blows my mind I cant belive how big those fish are.

Wow, I live in Dubai, and I have seen the biggest fish in the world, the Whale Shark. But it is a LOT different to see the proportion difference of fidh to person. I mean, to see a fish in the water, and however big it may seem, it will seem a whole lot larger once youve seen it in comparison to a person. Wow.

Thanks for the pics mate (:
