Jeremy Wade Catches 100lb “Giant Piranha”

by Seedorama Staff on October 26, 2010

Jeremy Wade is known for his show on Animal Plant, ‘River Monsters’. But what might get the 52-year old wrangler some more attention was his recent catch in the Congo River.

While filming with his team in Africa, Wade had a serious fight, but eventually brought in a 5-foot goliath tiger fish, which we called a “giant piranha”.

Because of its population and attitude, not many of the tiger fish have ever been caught – especially when it weighs in at 100 lbs. Many sightings of the fish include it killing prey the size of itself – crocodiles and even people.

    the bullshit way he tries to sell his show is worse than sad "ive always been facinated
    by rivers,there not like the ocean you can't see whats at the bottom"he must have jolly
    good eyesight if he can see whats at the bottom of the ocean's!!!!and "the one thing i
    will have with me is a knife as i'd rather loose a fish than loose my life"i cringe every time his trailer is shown with bull sharks(which are more common in the ocean than rivers)and giant catfish that wouldn't harm a cat!! next it'll be "fart warrior"can't wait!!

  • A Bohd

    FIX IT MAN 40 LIKES EVERYONE HATES YOUR TEXT COLOR CHOICE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE.

  • i used aardvark to fix this nasty grey on white color to black on white in one keystroke! try it ..firefox extension.

  • yeah and

    how many times does firefox crash per minute while that is installed?

  • Jimbo

    yo, rethink your comment section, grey on white...geez....
    and why kill the fish...leave it be or bring it to texas for border patrol duty on the rio grande....

  • Cheesey Bum

    A Tiger Fish is also know as a Gaint Piranha, it says it in the articlie

  • WTF!?!? Giant piranha? 100lbs? /cry Imagine that in the 3D movie they had!

  • Chris

    I live in South Africa that is not a fucking Piranha - It's a very large tigerfish here is another example: http://globalflyfisher.com/fis...

  • T T Haks

    I've caught a lot of fish that size. Unless it has bones made of depleted uranium, it weighs much less than 100 pounds... I'd guess about half that.

  • Arushi

    standing in the water where he caught the piranha?

  • Bigdicks

    aren't you afraid of it biting your hand off you psycho!

  • Digdizz

    That's nothing. You should see the size of he roaches there.

  • mrzaiko

    holy shieet!

  • Wow thats all I have to say Wow

  • Idiots

    If it's not a piranha don't call it a fucking piranha...

  • Null

    wow! such anger!

  • blerg

    Without anger we wouldnt get anywhere! He's right! Enough bs to go around as it is

  • Roy

    sushi anybody?

  • How did they kill it? Doesn't look like you'd kill it just by hitting it hard on the head. I wouldn't be standing with that thing in the water just after having caught it.

  • ECU

    who's brilliant idea was it to put grey text on a white background

  • Thegroak

    You wouldn't want one of those swimming up your arse.

  • SniperKING

    UM , if it could swim up your arse , I feel sorry for you having such a LARGE ASSHOLE !

  • Larry

    Aarons fish would have weighed more than Jeremys if it had teeth, I think the MMA could beat him. This guy is scheduled for a fishing trip out of the Old Oar House sometime to try his luck on a spoon.

  • 321DrTran

    Holy poop!! that's one scary looking fish!!

  • Doug

    get out of the water dude

  • damn that is one huge pirana :)

  • Master of Observation

    What's 'Animal Plant'?

  • Mia

    its a TV station

  • buhnanapancakes

    That is one freaky fish

  • Tekmech

    It sure is fun highlighting everything, so I can read the gray on white text....

  • I didn't think they grew that big...

  • Asdfasdf

    that's what she said.

  • unknown

    NICE

  • Is it edible?

  • Und3niable

    Everyone thats posting its not a piranha is completley retarded. Notice how it says "Giant Piranha" in quotes, but it actually calls it a tiger fish.

  • Psych

    Not a piranha... Tiger fish

    why is this just being published now, this was on his show River Monsters like 3 months ago.

  • So scaary

  • Semilogical

    I bet this guy is a vegetarian!

  • Mangus_guy_mangus
  • Learn2spell

    Tiger Fish??

    I don't think that is a piranha - just the misconceived notion that a fish with teeth must be a piranha.

  • Mia

    or its part of the Piranha family....just saying

  • When I first saw that picture I thought it had to be a joke... But seriously... WOW. Don't call your pest control guy for that one.

  • Sam

    Piranhas are from South America.. what you telling us here?

  • Plasticshakeupsnow

    Maybe he gets his information from this guy: http://verydemotivational.meme...

  • Tjjauthor

    That is frightening. Also "Planet" is spelled wrong in the first sentence.

  • Mike Tagg

    There is another species of the Tigerfish found mostly in warm rivers south of Zambia called Hydrocynus vittatus or Striped Waterdog. Grammar......."spelt" "wrongly" or better still "incorrectly"

    Kill it with fire!!
