Tiger Fish

Had to move this guy downstairs to make room for my new addition due in August. Mommy think may scare the baby. Anyway thought I would share. Caught this in 1995 on the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, on a Krockidile spoon. Biggest of the trip for all 3 of us.

    Didn't know Jeremy Wade frequented these boards....

    Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.

    I don't recall, I guess about 36", around 15lbs. The Ironwood it's mounted to goes 50lbs, It's like concrete. Not a Goliath Tiger fish like Jeremy Wade was catching.

    Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The closer we adhere to the Holy Bible and the US Constitution (as it was written) the closer we get to the model that made America great. The great American experiment worked, human nature just got in the way.

    We got them mounted there. Three of us got fish mounted and shipped back, I think shipping was around $300 in 98? I really don't recall since it was split 3 ways.
