Help identify this scary looking fish, page 1

I was reading an ATS thread and found myself googling Uranium City in northern Saskatchewan Canada. From there I clicked a flikr photo album and came across this:






presumably it is a fish out of one of the lakes up there (Athabasca?). Apparently, that lake has 23 species of fish. Including Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Walleye, Yellow Perch.

I doesn't look like any fresh water fish I've seen in Canada and I live here. I gotta say, judging by the color of the skin of the handlers, I think this photo was mis-catagorized. Is it a barracuda? It's not a Musky, is it? I've caught northern pike, this is no northern. I've ever seen!

Yep Goliath Tiger fish

Yep, that's what it is.



They are found in several African lakes, will eat anything they think they can take on, and apparently grow to 55Kg !

Believe it or not some people keep these as pets in oversized aquariums.

Excellent. Good job. Especially since that helped us find the identical image.

Very conclusive.

I think he was referring the the other 2 pics in the link you provided. One of them was the exact same as the one I posted. You have to scroll through the window to see the second and third pictures.
