Tura, Oct 5: Yet another muster fish has been caught in the Simsang River in Garo Hills. This time, a fisherman caught a huge fish weighing approximately 56 kg from the Simsang river near Williamnagar in East Garo Hills on Thursday.

The particular fish is considered rare, and is often referred to as the King of Fish. It is highly favoured by meat lovers due to its taste and texture.

The fisherman believes that this fish, which can be found in fresh water and seawater, offers numerous health benefits.

It is called Namasu or Gilchak in local Garo language.

However, it is scientifically known as Bagarius yarrelli, and is more commonly known as goonch catfish or giant devil catfish.

The Goonch Catfish is one of the largest catfish in the world and is native to Asia, specifically the rivers flowing out of the Himalayas.
