Giant CL have been available for many years, but it's a game of supply and demand, with the largest/best fish generally going to those who are willing to pay the most. I recall several yrs ago when an associate of mine called me about a large group of monster sized CL's arriving in Singapore, in case I was interested. Within hours of their arrival half were already sold.
Also keep in mind that how these giants look, among other things is primarily based on collection location. The large CL's collected in Sumatra are quite pale & washed out compared to those in Kalimantan. Their genetics are different, as are their overall look.
