Goonch ( Bagarius yarrelli )- Man Eating Catfish Thailand- BKKGUY
Bagarius yarrelli, also known as the giant devil catfish or goonch, is a very large species of catfish in the genus Bagarius found in rivers in South Asia.
It is possibly also found in Southeast Asia, but this may involve a separate species.The Kali River goonch attacks were a series of fatal attacks on humans claimed to be perpetrated
by man-eating goonch catfish in three villages on the banks of the Kali River in Nepal and India, between 1998 and 2007.
I have the opportunity to fish this ferocious man eating catfish in Thailand.
While most goonch fishing were caught in India and Nepal by live/ dead fish.
As a avid lure fisherman myself, I tried to catch this magnificent fish by mean of artificial lure.

Gooch is found in Malaysia
Gooch is found in Malaysia and Indonesia too, could be a sub species though. Been caught on lures over there.
Jeremy Wade did a coverage on the so called "man-eating" gooch but found the fish were accustomed to human flesh due to water burial conducted by the villages.

If they had
If they had a hook down their throat they could keep it as far as I'm concerned there is no way I'd try and get it out.
