OUCH!tigerfish alright,its arguably the hardest fighting fish pound for pound in the world there mainly found in africa,they have a saliva gland to produce an anticoagulant so you bleed like a stuck pig for a week,its so they can track bleeding fish go to the gym for a few weeks if you want to go fishing for them,good luck your gonna need it:martial:crutch
 
dont worry it eats plankton, or the more classic, its looks a lot meaner than it really is rofl rofl rofl
 
ahhh idnt it cute, kinda looks like a girl i once dated..... come to think of it she looked worse than that in the morning! hahahahah
 
Tiger fish? I thought so at first, but damn, that is one ugly fish!

Montauk monster vs tiger fish!!!:martial:martial
 
just a small observation:
AMAZON is not the same as AFRICA

and as far as that being some girl u dated: DAMN! ouch just thinking about it makes my ding-dong hurt rofl
 
Hiya

That is no ordinary Tigerfish!! They're known as Goliath Tigerfish, Hydrocynus goliath and can grow to 50kg's whilst the normal Tigerfish, Hydrocynus vittatus grows to 20 odd kg's.

They're one of AFRICA'S best freshwater game fish!! They have very hard bony jaws, which makes it very difficult for anglers to set their hooks in its mouth, they display spectacular aerial acrobatics, which often throws the lure/hook from its mouth, with anglers often having a 6:1 ratio, with only one fish being landed for every 6 fish hooked!

Those goliath tigerfish are very rare and anglers spend lots of money looking for them in very remote area's in Africa.

Just some trivial info........ blackeye

Can you eat them ?

On the other side of the atlantic, I've have heard about people eating piranhas.

hahaha she did say she had a brother into diving and being from canananananada does explain the strange accent.( coming form a Dane living in Australia... now thats a strange accent?)

It's images like that that make me glad I left africa. I'd be needing a new wetsuit if I survived an encounter with that thing! :blackeye
