To be technical it is a Goliath Tigerfish and they grow bigger than this too.Usually caught in the Congo/Zambesi river. Smaller more common Tigerfish are caught in the Gambia river after the Rainy Season from November on. They grow to about 8-9 Kgs there. About half of the fight is in the air sometimes you might think they are trying to get in to the boat to get at you. Bad attitude! :evil: :evil:
