@carnivore2023 I thought Andy was a bit ridiculous in his methods, as long as I've lived and even with elusive fish I know two things, 1 is you don't need to swim with them to learn about them and 2, always bring a net
Andy is one of the most inept fishermen imaginable. He finally catches one by accident (wire leader wraps around the fishes jaw) and he does not have a gaff or a net to bring it into the boat. No wonder he was worried about his hands.

35 years ago we were on a house boat holiday on Lake Kariba and my dad caught a nice tiger fish. He had it mounted and still has it today and those teeth are incredible!
Um....well, the tiger isn't Africa's piranha. It doesn't behave like a piranha and hardly ever bites people, except careless anglers who haven't ever heard of fishermans' pliers before. It is native to Africa and plays an essential role in the ecosystem, so if you want to chat about problem fish in Africa I suggest focusing on alien invader species such as bass, trout and carp, which well and truly plague African waters and fishes.
@@asifimam88 I've noticed that the tigerfish shoal together when they are fairly small and tend to herd tilapia or mudfish , much the same as other predators such as European perch, kingfish or dolphins. Larger individuals are loners. However it's always to prey on fish, never humans or aquatic animals such as otters or crocodiles.
In packs.Piranha,snake heads,tiger fish are all more deadly in a hungry pack.Now solo piranha are wimps except the Blacks.A solo Goliath tiger fish has been known to bite a few people on record.Mistaken identity or a quick splash might trigger them for a second.I highly doubt they will attack a human for food.Snake heads will attack people solo,They are very aggressive especially when nesting.
@@joshuagarvey9362 Josh, there's no doubt that there have been very isolated but well documented cases of a bite on human beings by goliath tigerfish. This was probably because of a flashing watch or something which they mistook for a baitfish - just as divers who are bitten by barracuda for example, for wearing similar flashy items. On more than a few occasions I have seen bass acting as a wolf pack when hunting for tilapia, but again, it's the smaller ones who tend to shoal like that. Goliath tigers and tigers are favorite fly fishing targets for catch and release, and are quite safe to handle if you have suitable gear for landing them and have respect for them. I would say the chances of the average person being bitten while diving, swimming or fishing are around 000.1% in a lifetime.
I'm going to tell you why. He's a HOAXER. 8:16 The large fish is CGI. And the crock overhead is stock footage. I downloaded the same clip on my computer.
I rented a houseboat on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. We caught several tiger fish, including a couple of impressive size. All I’ll say is, the guy on the video is quite a showman.
The village elder gave him 1 rule. And he totally disobeyed it. That fish could've provided a meal for the village. Give it to the people that graciously let you stay and hunt from their land especially in 3rd world countries.
Seeing they spent an insane amount to travel it would have been best to have bought a couple hundred bucks of food for the village so you can still release the endangered animal a village in northeast Australia ish don't remember exactly could have been an island in that area ate one of the last verified Tasmanian Tigers over tradition... sometimes it's better to feed the village and not give in to silly superstition
What an Awesome fishing adventure with a Awesome angler catching a Awesome fish.....man shot outs to the Congo, the Marketplace, the Shaman lady and all the Boatsmen
I kept 5 of these in a 680 gal tank. I thought it would be kool to have a mini school. They were constantly fighting and slashing at each other. If I would have known they fight even in the wild I would have never kept more than one.
Never knew Africa has piranha deadly fish. Then again, most animal origin in so-called New World, S American species came from or copycat of Africa which usually are larger, if not more vicious and numerous... A big kudos n thanks to Andy hard to find brave angler! Hope he will be OK, NOT being attacked during his first and last stage of catching Goliath Tigerfish!
JUST ME, I find that certain fish (tarpon, payara) have very ""bony mouths" and require extra sharp hook points, VERY EXTRA SHARP, chemically at least laser sharpen, and first time use for something like that. From what I see so does that Goliath Tigerfish that eats even ""armour fish"". All in all brave man, good video.
The best part of this video is when he is preparing his fishing rod, and then a few scenes later adjusts his oxygen tank equipment and plunges into dangerous water.
They can't even show him using the same real with the first fish he catches. He starts out using a spinning reel, then it flashes to a level wind, then back to a spinning reel again. It makes you wonder if he's actually doing the fishing.😅
He broke his word to the chief of the village. He was supposed to give his first Goliath catch to the Chief as he agreed to do. Guess he's never heard of circle hooks. I've had mine go right through a Long nosed alligator gar's bony mouth. He apparently missed the memo about using a dip net to land his fish. He'd of had a couple of those earlier ones that he got up to the boat with a good dipnet. He's had to have gone carp fishing during his life as a fisherman. Absolutely unqualified, under equipped and a very poor fisherman. I'm thinking that they probably caught the Goliath using a cast net and then rigged it up to look like he caught it himself. Very convenient that he just happened to land one on his very last day.
This guy isn't much of a fisherman. He keeps on trying to set the hook before the fish has the bait all the way in its mouth. He can barely cast the bait. Rookie.😂
There's only two freshwater fish that are on my dream species list the Goliath Tiger and the Golden Dorado. I have a couple freshwater bucket list fish I need to cross off my list first.
I’m not a pro fisherman but @38:45, if I was hooked onto a giant fish with teeth, I wouldn’t be yanking the shit out of that rod everytime before I reel it in😂.
He was having trouble, he said, getting the hooks to get purchase in the fish's jaws. Of the ones he lost, maybe he needed to strike that little bit harder.
Why don't you just hire Jeremy Wade as a guide. Seriously you're fishing in a boat for a toothy fish that you've spent weeks trying to catch and you haven't brought a landing net. Most anglers make that mistake once when they are novices and don't do it again.
He’s a very poor fisherman. The video is really well made. I watched 50 minutes just to see the two meter devil fish with the huge teeth. he didn’t end up catching one. SMH 😩 KMN 😭
No landing net no Chance! He got lots in to 5ft off the skiff. He could’ve got them all. Also those hooks need sharpening to kitten claw points every few hours. The water erodes the tips
Now this would make a Great Si-Fi Movie; a monster fish that is a mutated offspring of a Bull Shark/Tiger Fish that terrorizes the waterways at Disney World.
So elusive they managed to get footage after footage of the actual large fish underwater while this guys casts his bait a hundred times without success.
According google AI, "goliath tigerfish, also known as Hydrocynus goliath, are considered good eating and have white flesh that tastes similar to bream, but with a bit more oil and bones." This is great food source for the local man!
Since the tribe leader asked to be given the first Goliath Andy catches so they can eat it, Andy should have given them the little tiny baby Goliath. It was his first catch! 😂😂😂
You asked what you did? It’s what you did not do and that is dip your rod tip down into the water and reel the moment you realized he was gonna jump. -Cheers
Why do these fishermen "miraculously" catch the big fish on their last day. I guess this doco would have only been 10 minutes if he caught it on the first. Get where I'm going with this?
🤣 he hunts fish without actually hurting them, which is part of the conservation ethos......1 minute later....fishing with live bait at night 😂😂. His actual fishing??never seen worse, he doesn't appear to have ever fished before in his life 🤣 what is this show?! i love it
Jeremy Wade says the tiger fish attacks nearly everything, and yet he has a hard time getting them to bite. Those comments contradict themselves. Come on. ... these fish have seen very little fishing pressure, and are not shy. They will eat when you chum the water. he didn't have to scuba into the river to learn that. He says their mouths are very hard. I also noticed his hooks are trebles and unnecessarily huge. A good fisherman adjusts based on conditions. A single, smaller hook is sharper and penetrates more easily. Use circle hooks instead of big trebles. I was fishing in Florida for Barracuda and was using big hooks the local shops were recommending. I kept losing them. Eventually I used a much smaller, quality hook, and landed large cuda on the first, second and subsequent hookups. A better solution is to use a stinger hook -- the UNDERSIDES of the jaw will not be that hard, so use a stinger hook 6-8"" away from the bait. When the fish hits the bait, the hook will hook under the jaw and not the mouth. Sometimes, his bait was bitten in half. A stinger hook takes care of that. As far as fighting the fish, Jeremy said the location has fast current. Once the fish gets into the current, he can exert more force against the hook and the line. Jeremy was standing at the bank. The solution? Sit in a SMALL canoe near the bank and hire a native who is good at peddling the canoe. The second he gets a hookup, get the canoe into the water and have his native canoe peddler follow the fish wherever he goes. The fish will also pull the (small) canoe a little, relieving pressure on the rig. Now, the fish cannot use the current against you. Yes, the tiger fish's size and the teeth sound sensational, but I did not see Jeremy adjusting his technique, as all good fishermen do. Sorry, Jeremy.
He should have experimented with different hooks , those treble hooks arnt always the best, a double rig with circle hooks might have given him the edge !

Yeah, and some other giants like the giant freshwater stingray in South East Asia.
GTFOH! He's a googan too. Just because you have the money to go catch fish in foreign places doesn't make you a good fisherman.

New need a documentry like this for wolf fish
We fish for alligator gar in Texas. Gar have a similar jaw. You have to let them swallow the bait without drag before setting the hook.
If you let them swallow it can kill the fish. He was doing catch and release.
