Fish Frenzy

This blog is regarding the wikipedia site on Fishing. I spent some time reading this site, as there is a great deal of information posted here, and was able to find one thing which the editor's seem to have left out. The question of: What is the largest fish ever caught? I was able to recover the answer to this question after some research, and found that the answer was the Whale Shark. In 1919, a specimen measuring 59 feet was captured in the Gulf of Thailand. Not coincidentally, the Whale Shark is considered the largest species of fish, as adults often grow to be 45 feet long and can weigh up to 15 tons. Hope this clears up any confusion that fellow fishermen may have regarding the subject...The link to the site is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing
