My thoughts exactly. 👍

[@jerichopz2620]

the river monster master!

[@BullyMaguire2007-1]

Yet another excellent video!

[@TsukiCove]

thank you i really appreciate it :)

[@Riku_Light]

Fun fact. We are more closely related to true fish, like trout, than sharks are.

[@Trundlebugg]

😁 fun fact 2: Sharks are older than trees

[@bonecanoe86]

Fun fact: We are still fish, at least phylogenetically. And so are all other mammals, reptiles, birds, and amphibians.

[@Riku_Light]

@@bonecanoe86 @Trundlebugg Both true facts. That! Is how the human…do.

Well,we definitely enjoy eating them more than sharks!

[@EuthanizeAllDogs]

asia solos

[@jackthedragon612]

My personal favourites from this list would have to be the Murrary Cod, Alligator Gar, Goliath Tigerfish, Nile Perch, Golden Dorado and the Wolf Fish despite the last two only getting honorable mentions. I also really like how you included a few scenes/pictures from River Monsters and Jeremy Wade's Dark Waters which is where I learned about many of the fish mentioned in this video in the first place.

[@Tahmid-Khan-Talha]

14:00 You have forgotten some incredibly amazing Fishes and they are mostly from Asia such as: Giant Snakeheads Great Snakeheads Emperor Snakeheads Barca Snakeheads Striped Snakeheads Giant Goonch Catfish Wallago Indian Shovelnose Catfish Plotosus Canius (Asian Eel Tail Catfish) ... Exetra Exetra Anyway, Thanks for such a great content. Edit: Sturgeons were also needed to be included in the video.

[@p5eudo883]

What about Snakeheads?

[@dobermommartha]

Thank you to you and Artie for another fabulous video. I appreciate all your hard work and am glad I subscribed. 🐡🐟

[@TsukiCove]

thank you i really appreciate the support and so does Arnie :)

[@dobermommartha]

@@TsukiCoveI actually learn a lot from your videos and so does my Asia (my miniature schnauzer)

[@Redneckkratos]

14:01 Tsuki, you forgot to mention this absolute giant river monster that patrols and doggie paddles up and down the Thames. Not even Jeremy Wade could handle this!!!!

[@TsukiCove]

he waddles up the humble river Avon instead haha

[@jakewilson4679]

Very interesting video 👍😊✌️

[@BuffleMcDuffle]

A horror movie similar to jaws about the wels catfish would be perfect

[@albertalbertsen2778]

I just love your videos... All of them :)

[@aaraadhyaandaakayaata]

Absolutely excellent video i would have liked you to add the golden mahseer and the black carp in the asia section being some the largest growing carps at 8 feet in length

[@Bacopa68]

The lower Trinity River in TX is a good place to find alligator gar.

[@StoneCBears]

That's a BIG fish!

[@holdinmcgroin8639]

Even though the Wels isnt the biggest, what i like about it is how adaptable and intelligent it is (for a fish). You really don't see that very often. It can also survive almost anywhere.

[@cprgaming3074]

Great video!

[@sephikong8323]

There are no recorded cases of them ever eating a human whole, we know they can scavenge a corpse if it comes near them, but we have no proof of them killing and eating a human (which would be very unlikely, a child as you said is feasible though I'm not aware of any case of a catfish found dead with a whole child inside, but adults are just too large for them to actually eat, especially as the truly massive ones are exceedingly rare nowadays and even for the upper limits of the species, a below average adult woman is already probably too large for them to swallow. It's not *impossible* that they ever killed (this is actually not too far-fetched considering their size and opportunistic behavior) and eaten (that's the very unlikely part) human at some point, but it is an extremely unlikely event

[@sarbansengupta6894]

Another excellent vodeo but you missed out the Goonch catfish

[@kishensookoo7815]

Nice video Tsuki

[@TsukiCove]

thanks i appreciate it :)

[@reneemcgarvie]

Nice video I definitely liked it. Also, have you heard that the giant catfish in South America? It’s rumored to grow 12 feet long.

[@AverageSsb2Player]

hi Tsuki, i watched your videos for a while now, they are nice but are you ever gonna do a video on i don't know what flora? This is just a suggestion you can do a video about a plant if you want to.

[@TsukiCove]

i don't know enough about plants to make videos on them but i'm sure there are other channels that focus on that

[@johntodd3910]

Wow that’s interesting Next ranking video Ranking the largest hoofed mammals by each continent

[@derekw9724]

I ❤ Jeremy Wade

[@TsukiCove]

he's from the same area as me and yes he's a legend

[@rancel6103]

If the freshwater stingray was on there, why not the white sturgeon as they both may spend time in saltwater ?

[@TsukiCove]

There here is no evidence that it crosses into marine waters, it only spends brief periods in brackish waters. The white sturgeon is anadromous

[@scraptrapgaming1491]

I think you could of included the sturgeon for North America since they are a iconic North American fish

[@RyanYoxo]

Then you’d include bullsharks etc

[@thurathetnaing2678]

5 fish that can breath air

[@juliesheehan41]

Alligator gar appreciation comment

[@nightmar3116]

I remember catching one when I was 19.Still my greatest catch of all time

[@ko1n0yok4n]

Theres another giant stingray in south america you forgot to mention. It was featured in a river monsters episode too.

[@NotlostMoon]

The Pike is one of my favorite fish, same with the Gar.

[@brianandrea3249]

After being hammered in the early days, Murray Cod are slowly recovering thanks to genuine efforts to improve habitat and massive restocking programs. Still a long way to go. Unfortunately they rely on seasonal spring flood events to trigger spawning in their natural range and these have largely been controlled by building weirs and large scale irrigation in a dry continent. Still, I’m optimistic that we will again see the monsters that were once slaughtered 100 years ago…and we will leave them alone. They are a special fish.

[@RyanYoxo]

There’s been some big boys caught at lake Eildon

[@brianandrea3249]

@@RyanYoxo Ha! Was up there a few weeks ago hoping to get one. 3 days hardcore fishing…not a touch! Mind you, the blokes with LiveScopes were doing okay…we were pretty much fishing blind. Helps when you can land a big lure right in a cod’s nose. Eildon cod fishery (and Yellowbelly) is pretty amazing.

[@RyanYoxo]

It would be interesting if you did a list that included marine fish that can enter freshwater. I imagine Sturgeons and Sawfish would top the list.

[@clayfan8892]

Tsuki there is this guy named ambiguous world and i think he might have footage of the thylacine but i need you to prove whether it is the thylacine or another Australian marsupial your the only animal expert i can trust on this.

Before watching my guess is that asia or south america will have the biggest

I miss River Monsters.

[@Bouboukenka]

White sturgon?

[@thenocturnalbass4428]

They go into the ocean, which is why it was the fish shown when he said he wasn't including it

[@dilwindersingh-x7b]

i think it's actually a bass, you'd see if i let the clip run a little longer

[@Dandido-th5ox]

@Tsukicove oh yeah i see that now damn thats a BIG BASS

[@bigrudd9346]

The entry for North America is so confusing regarding the white sturgeon.

[@TsukiCove]

Even though they can survive in freshwater their entire lives, they are anadromous so don't qualify for this video

[@bigrudd9346]

@TsukiCove Thank you sir for explaining.

[@TsukiCove]

no worries :)

[@bigrudd9346]

@TsukiCove How about most dangerous household insects/arachnids?

[@lennonwilson6407]

I'm confused how sturgeon in the Caspian sea aren't mentioned.

[@TsukiCove]

Caspian sea is technically brackish

[@bigpappa_rock4147]

The largest fresh water fish in North America is the Sturgeon! It is by far longer and heavier than the Alligator Gar.

[@TsukiCove]

"the sturgeon" is not a species, it's a group of prehistoric fish that can be found across the northern hemisphere. They are anadromous so they don't have a place in this video. The largest sturgeons are found in Asia and Europe not North America

[@DillonTrinhProductions]

Speaking of aquariums, how's your aquarium?

[@lebenstraum666]

Lungfish only in Mary and Burnett Rivers. MURRAY COD don't breed because of hydroelectric schemes. Breed only in Ovens River in Victoria.

[@Tobster627]

What about white sturgeon for North America?

[@TsukiCove]

it's anadromous

[@Skyu999]

You got it wrong the arpima is the biggest fresh water fish in the world. They can get up to 14ft long if in the right sercum stances. But there most common at the size u said they was.

[@troyandskyelar9588]

It’s a shame people bowfish for big alligator gar and kill em for a photo.

[@wolfageddon]

For North America are sturgeon the largest the largest could get to 20ft

[@TsukiCove]

they're anadromous. That's why i didn't include any sturgeon species

[@1logoam]

for the North America, wouldn’t it be sturgeon?

[@TsukiCove]

even though they can live in freshwater their entire lives, they are anadromous. Otherwise i would've included the beluga sturgeon in Europe and Asia too

[@rockenlouis]

I thought the beluga sturgeon is larger than the wels catfish? 🤔

[@Operager]

it is larger but isn't considered a freshwater fish because it lives in both fresh and salt water

[@rockenlouis]

@Operager But that isn't a reason for it to not be classified as a freshwater fish

[@danvernier198]

@@rockenlouis He literally showed the beluga sturgeon in the part of the video when he was explaining that he was excluding fish that were not primarily freshwater fish.

[@rockenlouis]

@danvernier198 oh really??? Oh my bad 😔

[@SlackPanther]

What about white sturgeons? They grow bigger than alligator gar.

[@TsukiCove]

yes but they're anadromous and i'm not including anadromous fish

[@tylereaston8263]

White sturgeon in B.C. get way bigger then alligator gar

[@TsukiCove]

yes but it's anadromous, listen in the fist minute of the video

[@tylereaston8263]

@TsukiCove there are white sturgeon thst live in the northern rivers thst sre cut off from the ocean......

[@TsukiCove]

Yes but they are still an anadromous species. Many anadromous species can survive in freshwater their entire lives but they are still anadromous

[@tylereaston8263]

@TsukiCove nope there are exceptions. These fish cannot migrate they are landlocked due too the hells gate falls in hope and haven't had access to migrate for millenia. They may be classed as that but it's wrong

@TsukiCove the freshwater sawfish is

The "freshwater" sawfish lives in coastal marine, brackish, and sometimes freshwaters. They are not freshwater fish they just spend short periods of time in freshwater

[@Metropolischessofficial]

Idk if the sturgeon in canada get bigger than the aligator gar but im pretty sure there freshwater but they might move between ocean and fresh water im not sure but let me know

[@charlescampisijr.8065]

Lake Sturgeon I don't believe migrate to the sea. They're are in Lake Erie and migrate into rivers to spawn. They grow upwards to 7 feet and weigh around 250-300lbs. That's just one species I know there are several. I could be wrong. I know in the 80's I read a article in Field & Stream and it had photos of 1500lb sturgeon. I don't recall the species but I am sure they were caught in the Snake River in the 1800s.

[@AlejandraJimenaDelosReyes]

you sir are a fish

[@Ceretrea]

I think you missed the sturgeon? Those can get enormous

[@TsukiCove]

sturgeon are a group of fish not a species and they're anadromous so don't qualify

[@Ceretrea]

@TsukiCove ahhh of course. I forgot they do that

[@Masterdemon51]

Gounch catfish for Asia it’s bigger then the stingray

[@TsukiCove]

it really isn't

nice one :)

[@carno21gaming14]

Actually in North America the biggest fresh water fish is the white sturgeon with the record catch being 12ft 1000 lbs but the quick glance of the web I saw said they can reach 20ft 2000lbs however idk if that second parts true. Either way far bigger than a F ing gar like c’mon dude

[@TsukiCove]

read the title or listen in the first minute of the video. Even though it can live in freshwater it's anadromous so doesn't have a place in this video. Otherwise i would've included the beluga sturgeon and Asia and Europe would be joint first. c'mon dude...

[@socal_crane4543]

The white sturgeon is the largest fresh water fish in North America not the alligator gar

[@TsukiCove]

even though they can live in freshwater their anadromous so don'y qualify

[@KayentaRojo]

THERES NO WAY Europe ranks above the US. You forgot the white sturgeon.. They can grow up to 18 feet..

[@TsukiCove]

i didn't forget, almost all sturgeon are anadromous and i said in the first 30 seconds that i wouldn't be including brackish and anadromous fish. Even if i was Europe would beat north america as it has the beluga sturgeon

[@michaelhowell2326]

Isn't the shark and ray kind of cheating? I know they are still fish, but aren't they sort of a class on their own?
