It is remotely possible that a few Chinese paddle fish are still swimming around but they have been cut off from much of their former range and completely cut off from their spawning grands. It's doubtful any reproduction is going on so any individuals left are pretty much doomed.

There is the big problem with sturgeons because most of them are anadromous and no true freshwater fish, and the Arapaima is still much smaller than most people think. At the end giant Pangasianodon catfish and possibly giant freshwater stingrays are the heaviest and chinese paddlefish and giant freshwater stingrays the longest.

most people cant accomodate these species anyway

so sad I hope the Chinese Paddle Fish has another habitat in another river.

does this count for weight? and it was even rod and reel caught and not netted.

They guessed on the weight.

Here is a link that explains what happened.

damn, that sucks that they didnt weigh it. too bad though it could have been the world record. maybe, maybe not. maybe in a couple years someone will catch it again and weigh it this time.
