Arapaima are considered to be one of the oldest freshwater fish on the planet and are considered living fossils by many. Once only found in the Amazon River, Arapaima have now found themselves being introduced into many freshwater lakes around Thailand. These Arapaima are incredible leapers and can propel themselves above the water once hooked. Capable of growing to a length of 10 feet, as you can imagine, these fish are a very prized and delicate catch in many freshwater lakes across the world.
