The Goliath Tigerfish, as pictured, are reported to attack people, and in one of his shows, he discovered that they do hunt in packs. Now, here are a few points that I am curious about: 1) If the natives know that something like that with those teeth are in the water, why in the hell do they get in the freaking water? questions 2-100 are identical to the above. I mean there is a local lake that was built as a water source for a local power plant, there have been catfish photographed that are as long as the average adult male human, and there is no way in hell I will swim there. Nor do I swim at public beaches where bull sharks are frequently seen, or engage in any water related activities anywhere where there may be alligators. While I do still scuba dive, i prefer to dive on reefs, such as found in the keys, and on wrecks. I carry a bang stick on the off hand chance of meeting an aggressive shark, but most of the time, they seem content to keep their distance.
