Giant fish that eats crocodiles and humans was discovered

During a fishing expedition on the River Congo in Africa, British angler Jeremy Wade, 52, caught Goliath tigerfish. Goliath is regarded as one of the largest freshwater fish in the world and is feared much larger and more deadly than the piranha. The giant fish has 32 teeth that are similar in size to those of a great white shark and it was learned that it attacks humans and crocodiles. A group of fishermen managed to catch it in a habitat very difficult to achieve. “This fish is no tench,” said Mr Wade. “It is, for all intents and purposes, a giant piranha. It is quite a beast.

“The teeth on it are incredibly sharp and are about the same length as a great white shark. “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. “It is thought that these fish attack in a reflex response to a sudden movement or splash. “It is very rare to catch one, especially by an outsider because they are found in such a remote and difficult location to get to. There are no guides or lodges on that part of the Congo River.” Wade used a big catfish as bait, a 200-pound bar and line. He also took a considerable distance for their safety. Wade, once caught in this vicious fish, managed to get a few pictures and finally returned it to its habitat.
