For The Win ^ | June 1, 2020 | Pete Thomas

All the other fish were skeered from the thrashing around from him landing this monster.

Polyodontids are almost exclusively North American and Chinese, both extant and in the fossil record.

125 million years ago the continents were in a much different place.

Happy they were able to successfully release it.
