BATH, England - A British man has joined the small group of people who can claim to have caught a tigerfish, one of the world's most dangerous species, while fishing in Africa.
Jeremy Wade of Bath, England, said he reeled in the tigerfish, a larger cousin to the piranha, while fishing in the River Congo and set it free after taking a picture, The Sun reported Thursday.
"The teeth on it are incredibly sharp and are about the same length as a great white shark," Wade said. "It also has an extremely powerful bite and has been known to consume prey the same size as itself, attack people and take pieces out of crocodiles."

Uhm, he’s lying. He DIDN’T put that fish back. Look how it’s rather stiff and NOT biting his head off as he trophies it.
When one of these bad boys breaks water about 15’ from your boat, your pucker factor increases exponentially.
You were saying soemthing about the calming effect of fishing?
I have caught, gutter and fried smelt....not going to gut that ugly thing :O) It would be like gutting a deer...yikes...
LOL at first I though you were just a bad speller...
Ouch, that leaves a bad picture in my mind...help don’t want any pucker factors when I go to sleep..
How shortsighted of you. Maybe it will take a chunk out of the croc that would have eaten the child.
When it comes to croc’s I think he’d have to kill it...a bite would not even puncture its hide. But I could be wrong, never tried to bite a croc myself...:O)
Another good reason to stay out of Africa.
I thought there was no information about nobama’s early years? Where the heck did you find the picture of him on a fitness run outside his shack in Kenya as a young man?
