A reason to not swim in the Congo River

​

That’s a Goalith Tigerfish. It has attacked people and even crocodiles before. Video from Discovery Channel here Man I would hate to swim into one of those...

 

Ja forget about sharks.

 

man that fish has huge teeth!

 

Hydrocynus goliathi - big females top out at 45 to 50 kg.....Mothersmurfing huge fish....

 

wont be catching one of those on a fly rod

 

That's every reason to get into the Congo! Those fish are awesome!

 

well i wont be swimm there because there are alos hippos and Crocs

 

I am defiantly staying out of that river. And to think there are even bigger fish that that one.....

 

It's only a little guy . . .

The wide angle lens used to photograph the fish made the head and teeth look larger than life

TM

 

I dont think you could catch those even on a steel cable and a crane~!!!~

 

looks like that guy caught it with his bare hands lulz

 

That is huge!! I'm scared. Hy sal jou opeet!!

 

Hahaha. i thought people were kidnapped there turns out they were eaten .Wonder what tank setup you need for one.

 

That must be one of the ugliest fish I have seen. I can see those teeth chomping a crocodile

 

and i thought normal tigerfish were scary :0

 

Never seen a tiger fish before!

 

I agree.. it's ALMOST as ugly as an oscar

 

They are excellent sporting fish, if you get a chance to go on a trip to catch them you should take it trust me its a excellent experience.
