Goonch!

RIVER MONSTERS!
Ha-ha, just kidding. We don't need to do that again...but check this out:

This is our old pal Jeremy Wade with an Giant Indian Goonch Catfish.
It began like any other typical River Monsters episode.
Slowly.
Apparently, something was dragging dirt-poor Hindus under the water. Jeremy was there to play White Knight and catch the beast, ONLY TO LET IT FREE AGAIN.
That's right folks; after spending six weeks chasing an enormous breed of catfish in the middle of fucking nowhere, a catfish he learned was eating the half-cremated dead of the local village and reaching over 9 feet in length, after hooking one in the middle of a monsoon and jumping into the rapids and swimming downstream with his rod to grapple the leviathan back on land, he put it back.
"I'm not convinced this fish eats people (even though it definitely eats dead people). I'm not comfortable damning its character to satisfy legend. Let's toss him back, he's starting to wake up."
You were chomped on by Alligator Gar.
You were splattered with the newborn young of a 700lb. Stingray.
You were almost murdered by villagers who thought you were a bad omen.
Just mount these water gods and be done with it.
What do you think the primitive cultures remember you for? Solving a scientific mystery or PUTTING THE DEATH BACK YOU PUT THE DEATH BACK.
Look at what you thought deserved to live:

What the hell is wrong with you.
