The famous British fisherman, biologist, TV presenter and traveler Jeremy Wade caught this monster while traveling in Africa, during an expedition to the Congo
Jeremy Wade says he tried to catch the creature for 8 days after he first spotted it. Meanwhile, according to the Daily Mail, “this type of fish has long been known - it belongs to the terapone family and is called the tiger Goliath - it has 32 sharp teeth, the size of which reaches sharks, and is known to attack crocodiles and, in very rare cases, humans . In very rare, because they are found mainly in deep-water places very remote from civilization.
Wade, however, claims to have caught the fish with a rod, which he did not do the first time. And then for a long time he was afraid to approach the fish until it suffocated and stopped moving.
The length of the fish is one and a half meters, its weight is 45 kilograms. Until now, very few fishermen dared to hunt for such a giant. After being photographed with the monster, the fisherman released him. By the way, after such a catch, Jeremy Wade strongly discourages swimming in the Congo River.
