Jeff Corwin Giant Stingray Find Weighs 800 Pounds (PHOTO)

A world record! That is what the finder, Jeff Corwin, said of his latest giant stingray find in Thailand’s Mae Klong River.

The 14-foot long and 8-foot wide freshwater ray could be the largest freshwater fish ever captured, Corwin said on Facebook.

WORLD RECORD! I (and the Ocean Mysteries team) are so excited! Turns out this giant freshwater stingray maybe a world record for the largest freshwater fish ever captured! It measured over 14 ft long and over 8 ft wide! I will let you know the final results! FYI, this stingray was captured with the world’s leading specialist on these animals Dr Ning, the information from her study is solely for conservation, and as you can see in the picture this is the moment of release, the animal is doing well and thriving. The entire story will be featured in a future episode of Ocean Mysteries on ABC. Cheers from Thailand, Jeff
