    Giant Fish Jaws

    Attached pic of a giant African Tiger Fish I caught on my last trip (only kidding).

    Wouldn't be much left if a school of these buggars got hold of you.

    Cheers

    You should know that's not a Piranha.

    Yes mate, I know sfa about african species, never been there. Got an email from a friend in the States who mistakingly referred to the fish as a piranha. Whatever it is its got a mouth full of teeth

    I have to ask why and who came up with the name Tiger Fish when there are no Tigers in Africa? I think Lion fish would be more appropriate. Still, I wouldn’t be diving into its mouth to retrieve the hook.
