Default Tiger fishing!

Tiger fishing in Tanzania - Fred flyfisher - eat you heart out! 19 lbs of teeth and muscle!

This is really remote, 2 days drive from anywhere with people. Proper lion country!

Taken with a Point 'n Shoot.

best fresh water fishing I know of! You can eat them, but they are not that great.
You can lose a finger playing this game... they are as mean as they look.
Steal traces & lures often come second.

there is a good tip here for those taking fishing shots.
Always hold the fish forward, it changes the perspective and makes the fish look bigger.

that said, these fish are REALLY big.
