The world's largest freshwater fish, a 661-pound (300-kilogram) giant stingray, has been found near a remote island in the Mekong River in northeast Cambodia's Stung Treng province.

The record-breaking stingray, which measured over 13 feet (almost 4 meters) from snout to tail, was hooked by a fisher south of the town of Stung Treng, in the middle stretches of the Mekong River.
