This shot was taken at High Bank. Saw 7 goonch lying at the bottom of deepest (about 2 m max) part of Ramganga, took picture of all seven goonch in one frame with 300mm f2.8 and then extented the reach with 2x teleconvertor to shoot the largest of the goonch, attached here.
I am not very good at guessing, but to me it appears about 50-60kg. Understand that they can grow to 150 kg weight and they are known to be maneater if opportunity prevails.
Nikon D700, Nikor 300mm f2.8, teleconvertor 2x, 600mm @ fstop 5.6, exposure 1/250, ISO 450
