SnellstromWhat kind of African fish is this?
Sorry I'm sure I'm posting in the wrong forum but what kind of fish is this?
It was sent to me by someone who said it was a Pirahna but I thought they only lived in South America.
Someone straighten me out please.

miketaylorThats one big Tiger fish. I have not caught one that big before. They do not look as beautiful when they are out of water as they do when they are on the end of your line and they first jump out of the water and the sun hits their scales

miketaylorI think you may be right on that. It probably is the giant species.

MARK H. YOUNGButch,
I think they call them Goliath Tigerfish but I don't know much more than that about them. That baby would be fun on some moderately light tackle.

JudgeGIf piranha (sp?) got that big, could you imagine 50 or so in a school attacking a swimmer or a cow.
What a Tiger! I hope to be fishing for them next March after I get a p.a.c. elephant!

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

BaldMummyDefinetly a Tiger, Probably caught in Kariba as the tigers that are caught in the river systems are much leaner and more streamline.
Looks like a 20kg pluss fish ... nice to take but not that common anymore.
I just like things that go BANG!!!
