Jeremy Wade's goliath tigerfish: British fisherman grapples with 'giant piranha' | Mail Online

Guy catches a fish called the Goliath Tigerfish. And they put pictures of it in the paper.

Yes, this fish is a freshwater river fish.

I'm guessing he's using cows for bait.

I thought you were talking about the lady who was stabbed in the back by a fish.

"I've got an emergency," Michael told the 911 operator who answered his call. "My girlfriend's been hit by a flying fish, I think it was a barracuda or something."

It was most likely a needlefish, Cobiella says, and as it jumped out of the shallow water into the couple's boat, its long, sharp nose stabbed her in the back.

"It came diving past the kayak, and hit her broadside, knocked her out of the boat and she's got, like, broken ribs and punctured lungs," Michael said to the operator.

They're out to get us.

Man, Jeremy Wade shows up in a lot of fish pictures.

Somebody 'shopped that picture to swap their heads in the ManBaby style, but I can't find it at the moment. It was creepy as all git out, though.

That's because he's a sport fisherman and the presenter of River Monsters, a series about potentially lethal freshwater fish. He was with a team that caught a pregnant 12 foot giant stingray in Thailand. It gave birth while they had it netted.

The fish have struck the first blow.

Now, it's time for payback.

Sweet, succulent, smoked payback.

Is that the thing that eats a fishes tongue then replaces its tongue with itself? o.o

Yup. I love mother nature...but sometimes she scares the hell out of me.

Hey, if things like liver flukes and such weren't already enough reason, there's always stuff like the Candiru...

Gah! I had forgotten all about Candiru until you reminded me.

As long as you don't pee while naked, in the Amazon River... you should be fine.

Is it me, or does that guy look like a real life Race Bannon?

I really thought this was going to be about the California great white shark killing that body surfer.

I guess it's scarier because this is freshwater?

And yeah, it seems like a great white gets someone every year or so off California. A lot of it happens near the town I was born in.
