Kuno, the giant catfish that once devoured a dog, died in Germany after his pond dried up.
The five-foot-long, 77-pound fish made international headlines in 2001 when he ate a small dachshund that was swimming in its pond. Kuno was placed on the Moenchengladbach-Rheydt Anglers Club's most-wanted list, but evaded fisherman for two years.
"He was our Loch Ness monster," said Uwe Heil, a member of the rock band, Kuno's Friends.
Anglers in Bremen, Germany, plan to stuff and mount Kuno, then put him on display at a local museum.
