River Monsters — S04E04 — Asian Slayer

00:00:01 My name's Jeremy Wade.

00:01:39 And now fresh reports are emerging

00:03:17 I have a background in science,

00:05:18 So I need to adopt a stealthy approach.

00:06:47 But I'm starting to get the hang of it.

00:08:12 I've heard rumors of another attack south of here

00:10:10 And it's been reported to grow to the size of a man.

00:12:05 and even inhabit the bodies of animals.

00:14:08 And not only is it a big fish with big teeth,

00:15:27 but something else has caught my eye.

00:16:57 The fish spooked, snagging the line tight around his legs.

00:18:44 Now, fly fishing is one method I was gonna use down there,

00:20:03 I'm 20 miles from the nearest town.

00:21:46 I'm starting to make mistakes.

00:23:41 I don't know what the answer is.

00:25:28 where rare giants from across the globe have been released

00:26:51 native to Southeast Asia.

00:28:26 What is that?

00:30:01 Ooh. Oh!

00:32:26 Mekong giant catfish.

00:34:00 if I totally sort of buy in to all the belief,

00:35:53 which is nice to see, but the effect of all that rain

00:38:11 135-pound line sliced clean through on a rock.

00:39:40 Some river monsters are worth the wait.
