    mrobisr Yes, I had seen a few real big ones. I remember one guy called me one time, saying Dave, hurry on over, you’ve got to see this. He had one he had caught & wanted to quickly get it to the processor. It must have been at least 12" in diameter & had it doubled over in the back of an AMC Pacer, with the back seat down…I keep thinking I have seen a few of them in the Sabine River, but it may have been the San Jacinto.

    I would be willing to bet on that.

                    HerbcoFood I had never heard of them being fresh water thought. I thought the Mekong Delta was more salty to brackish water, depending on the exact location.

                      calldoctoday saltwater fish and crabs go up stream all the time, so whether it was truly fresh water or brackish the same creatures could be there. I have caught crabs below Lake Houston dam and then this article shows just how far those salt water fish will travel.

                        mrobisr You’re in Houston? There used to be a restaurant downtown and I was sure it was called Jonathan’s but maybe it was Brennans that I’d have to go to from time to time for my job. They had reserved rooms for the Bush’s and other rich families where they stored their wine and only they could use the room. I did get fed lunch once while I was there all day and the food was unbelievable. Houston’s humidity and traffic made it a nightmare for me but the food was amazing!

                        Also, from today https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/swimmer-suffers-significant-injuries-in-shark-attack-in-california/vi-AAYM9pr?ocid=entnewsntp&cvid=a1c4fc423bdb42ac91de016ba2e1c4d8 I am TELLING you guys, sharks are figuring out we are food!

                            calldoctoday I used to watch river monsters with Jeremy Wade on Animal Planet. He was somewhere in Asia and he caught one of those huge freshwater sting rays. I can tell you Jonathon I will never get in the water system in the rivers in Asia. They have some crazy fish in those systems!

                                    mrobisr Yes, I understand & the Mekong River itself is freshwater. I keep thinking I have seen sharks in the St. Johns river up a pretty good bit & the San Jacinto, the crabs you mentioned in several locations, even landlocked Redfish, Crab, Flounder, Maybe Sheepshead (if my memory is correct), & Gator Trout in Guana & a lake down near Victoria or Corpus Christi (I cannot remember its name), etc. I think those boneless sharks/rays even do better adapting than the bony ones I think. The article called the sting ray a “freshwater Fish” though & that is what threw me off.
