British angler Ian Welch landed what could be the biggest freshwater fish ever caught with a rod and line.

The giant freshwater stingray was caught in Thailand and weighed 772lbs. It was so massive that Welch needed 12 other people to help get it out of the water.

But fear not the fish was released after tagging and DNA samples taken. Welch is part of a team tagging giant stingrays in the Mekong river.
