Tigerfish

Hydrocynus vittatus

Description:

I caught this 14lb Tigerfish on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Don't worry it was a catch and release, so he's still swimming around out there! Catch location is only approx.

Hi Jonathan. That is an impressive fish.
Do you have any other pictures of this fish that don't include a human or a picture of the release that you could use instead? If not, would you please crop the photo so the fish is the focus.

We request that humans in pictures be cropped out so we can focus on the organism and that organisms are in as natural state as possible.
If you have questions regarding appropriate photos for submission please review the FAQ page:
