Fishers and scientists announced this week the catch, and release,
of what is likely the world's largest known freshwater giant stingray.


The giant stingray, weighing an estimated
550 to 990 pounds (250 to 450 kilograms)
was reeled in on January 28, 2009,
as part of a National Geographic expedition in Thailand.


The stringray's body measured
6.6 feet (2 meters) wide by 6.9 feet (2.1 meters) long.
The tail was missing.
