A friend of mine sent me these pictures but he and nobody else that I've sent them out to can identify this fish..........anybody got any ideas? I promised my buddies that somebody on this board would have an answer by morning........I got faith in you folks! :-)

Well, I saw a TV show that showed this fish being caught somewhere south of the border, maybe in Brazil???. Well, I have a good excuse for not remembering but also forgot what the excuse is. LOL Tiger fish maybe??
That is about the finest set of eating gear I've seen. Actually those native people are a good clus as to where the fish was caught, and you are right about this site, someone and I am betting on one particular feller will give us the complete lowdown.

It's a hybrid striper/great white! LOL
Googling tiger fish brought up the same pics.
These same pics have been widely circulated lately on the net.

It just proves what I believe also..........if you want to know something about fish or fishing this is the place to come.
I believe you are spot on with the Tiger Fish ID. Good job Bill!

Tiger fish are native to the Congo and Zambezi river systems in Africa.They also inhabit lakes that are fed by those systems.They are vary agressive and strong fighters.They have been known to hold on to a lure and be landed without actually being hooked.I don't think Jimmy Houston would kiss one of them before releasing it.
