The giant stingray measured almost four metres from snout to tail and weighed in at just under 300 kilograms (660 pounds). The previous world record was a 293kg (646lb) Mekong giant catfish, caught in Thailand in 2005.

The stingray was snagged by a local fisherman on the night of 13 June, south of the town of Stung Treng
