Jeremy Wade’s GOLIATH TIGERFISH
Angler Jeremy Wade wrestled the 5ft-long goliath tigerfish during a fishing expedition along the Congo River in Africa. The tigerfish – believed to be a deadlier version of the piranha – has 32 teeth that are a similar size to those of a great white shark and has been known to attack humans and even crocodiles. The specimen caught by Jeremy ,who patiently spent eight days by the riverbank, weighed more than 100lbs and was FIVE FEET long.
For most people, fishing is a peaceful way to relax. Jeremy Wade , host of Animal Planet’s River Monsters , is not most people. The British biologist and extreme angler has spent more than 25 years chasing down the rarest and most fearsome freshwater creatures , from man-sized killer catfish to bloodthirsty piranha that could tear a human apart.
Wade called the creature “quite a beast”. That description somewhat perfectly describes the creature, which is capable of eating prey as big as itself. Mr Wade reeled in the 45kg beast as part of aTV show about mythical reports from around the world of humans being attacked by unknown monsters from the deep.
