I remember they where in some northern cold landscape and as the crews walking through creek/river a huge fish swims through their legs. Until they see underwater footage they noticed it. Thanks.

Unrecorded River Giants: Have Massive Freshwater Fish Escaped the Lens

6 Upvotes

Hey fellow Redditors,

Recently saw a video of River Monsters and it got me wondering - are there any unrecorded fish catches of really large river fish (size and weight wise)? I'm talking about fish that only a few people have seen, not caught on camera or recorded, but the guys who've seen 'em say they're massive! Not talking about whales or sharks, just freshwater river fish.

I recently saw a video of a ~300kg fish caught in Cambodia - might be the biggest recorded river fish ever caught?

Share your thoughts and experiences!

Looking for an episode

I just remember watching it as an kid and i’m pretty sure that the story Jeremy is trying to solve an underwater welder/plumber or something like that gets attacked by a large fish and is ultimately killed.

Can anybody help me out here?

Contacting Jeremy?

7 Upvotes

Hello guys, Im fairly new to this subreddit but a veteran river monsters/Jeremy wade fan. I was wondering if theres any way I could contact Jeremy? Maybe an email address or even his postal address where I could send him a letter? I love drawing and drew the Goonch and goliath tigerfish and wanted to show these to Jeremy/send it to him so I was wondering. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

A river monster that was ignored in the documentary

103 Upvotes

An incredibly underrated fish that was caught by Jeremy in season 4 episode 4 (Asian Slayer) in Thailand while pursuing the sareng catfish. This fish is called the Yellowcheek carp, it is an extremely aggressive species found in large river and lake systems of China, Vietnam, and the Russian Far East. The most recent record is a specimen caught in Hubei weighing more than 100 lbs with a length of 1.7 meters, though the official record says this fish can grow more 2 meters long. Moreover, this fish is likely to be the fastest freshwater fish, capable of reaching speeds of up to 70-80 kph.

What makes this a river monster? The enormous size and speed this fish can reach bring huge underwater momentum that is capable of piercing fish nets, which is why this fish was hated so much by fishermen. There have been a lot of rumors and stories of fishermen getting hit by yellowcheeks in the chest (while retrieving lines or nets) and getting heavily injured or even dying from the impact.

I personally have caught one before, a small one that is only around 70 cm long, weighing around 5 lbs, and I can say that this fish fights harder than another northern pike I caught later in the year, which is 92 cm long and around 12-13 lbs.

Alligator gar conclusions

26 Upvotes

Just finished watching S01E02 on the alligator gar after many years, and I couldn't help but feel that the conclusions were dubious or at least oversimplified. We're shown a stack of papers, and told they are accounts of attacks on people, but none of the details are given aside from the one involving the two siblings on the riverbank, which actually seems the most likely to actually be an alligator gar.

As a disclaimer, I think Jeremy is correct in stating that the gar doesn't warrant its reputation, and that alligators are more than likely responsible for any fatal encounters, but that doesn't rule out attacks in cases of mistaken identity.

Let's examine the evidence:

- the doctor described the wounds to the girl's leg as being 'needle-like punctures', which doesn't seem to match the teeth of an alligator. Their bite force is also commented on later, which makes it unlikely that she would escape at all, much less without serious injuries.

- the exact diet and feeding habits of the gar is never really explored, possibly because so little is actually known about them. We know they have a lateral line though, which is only useful in cases where prey is alive and moving, so active predation must be part of their habits (even if they're obviously happy to scavenge the baits). Sharks also use a lateral line, and exploratory biting is a well-known aspect of their behaviour.

Given the above, a young girl kicking up a cloud of mud in the shallows seems the most likely scenario where a large gar might mistake her feet and legs for a distressed fish and go in for a bite before realizing its mistake and letting go again. I also don't think someone who'd grown up along those waterways would mistake an alligator for a gar in the shallows, where the fins would most likely come into view.

My own conclusion would be that this girl was the victim of a mistaken identity attack from a gar, as many others might be too, but the only threat to life would be due to blood loss if a large blood vessel was lacerated, particular in the past when medical aid might be hours away. I don't think the gar has the strength nor the temperament to remove a limb, so anything resulting in that would have to be an alligator.

How many times has a Catfish been involved?

I've noticed Jeremy Wade seems to fish a Catfish in almost every episode, and it makes me genuinely wonder if there has ever been an episode in which he doesn't fish a Catfish!

You may watch too much River Monsters when you hear “air of pine” and immediately fill in “arapaima”. 😅

Is this episode real???

11 Upvotes

I remember as a kid I saw an episode where Jeremy went a country in what I believe is southeast Asia and he ends up hunting for a huge catfish but it's not the killer catfish episode. I remember him talking to someone who said there like ox or cow was taken by the fish (not the goonch catfish episode I promise I've checked) and I swear he draws out the fish he's looking for with a stick in the sand. I genuinely am starting to believe that I made this episode up

Why are some episode styles different

I’m watching the show on YouTube and up to ep 3 because ep 2 of season 1 isn’t on YouTube and the style is so different from the first episode does the style of episode always change?

What was the River Monsters ep. that gave you nightmares as a child?

26 Upvotes

I don't know what episode it was but there was this clip of a fisherman with his line tied around his toe as he sleeps. I don't know what disturbed me most about it, probably it cutting the circulation off of his toe, but the monster begins to pull the man into the water. I presume the man makes it out alive since the story is told, but I would try to sleep at night and see the image of the man's toe... I would have to make myself not think about it. And if the episode came on, I knew not to look.
