Not like Michael Phelps swim, but enough to do the job.

That depends what the meaning of “is” is. No wait, that’s not right. That depends on what the meaning of “Largest” is. That’s better. Oh, and it matters what you consider a lake.

If you are OK with a lake containing salt water, then it’s the Caspian Sea, which is a landlocked inland sea.

If you don’t count the Caspian, then it’s Lake Superior. But only if you count “largest” as most surface area.

If largest means “holds the most water”, then it’s Lake Baikal in Siberia. Baikal is a fresh water lake, and holds more water than the 5 great lakes of the US combined.

As an unapologetic American Patriot, I prefer the definition where the USA wins. So Lake Superior it is.

If you have ever been fishing with hot dogs (in my experience, a common occurrence “up at the cabin”), you know that fish will eat anything, so this shouldn’t be a surprise.

But there is a part of Africa where fig trees grow over the river, and the figs that grow there drop into the water and provide the main source of food for the fish there.
