Six critically endangered Mekong giant catfish were caught and released in Cambodia recently in just a few days .
The underwater giants can grow up to 10 feet ( 3 meters ) long and weigh up to 300 kilograms ( 661 pounds ) The species' population has plummeted by 80% in recent decades due to overfishing, dams that block the migratory path the fish follow to spawn.
Few of the millions of people who depend on the Mekong for their livelihoods have ever seen a giant fish.
