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."

Watching Jeremy’s show “River Monsters”, I note he has a ghoulish look about him. Perfect casting (fishing pun intended)

He’s a bit wall eyed in that photo, Joe. He doesn’t get paid more than scale for his TV show. Although there are some nice looking gills available for his personal pleasure

Back in 1983, I was fishing in the mighty Zambesi river. My colleagues and I were targeting tigerfish. I’d never seen one before, and now I’m glad we didn’t catch any. The biggest scare for me was seeing some big hippos surfacing not far from our 17’ boat. The hippos can overturn the boat, and then you’re faced with a very strong current carrying you through crocodile-infested waters.
