British angler Jeremy Wade looks understandably anxious as he grapples with this ferocious-looking 'giant piranha'. The 52-year-old caught the aptly-named goliath tigerfish during a fishing expedition up the Congo River in Africa. The brave fisherman was forced to hold the fish at arms-length for fear of being bitten by its razor-sharp teeth while posing with it for the camera.

razor sharp my *. Those teeth are about as sharp as a carrot.

[Quix]

Maybe you could suggest dentures?

[Celtic Cross]

A really hard carrot...?

[NautiNurse]

Can carrots bite a chunk of flesh out of a croc?

[mamelukesabre]

with enough bite force they can

Hey man, when I go fishing, I just want to have a coupla’ beers in peace. Sometimes, I even remember to put a line in the water. No carrots, please.

[bigheadfred]

Make a “suggestion” to my MIL? LOOK AT THOSE TEETH! :)

You can jump in a pool infested with hundreds of piranhas, and you won’t suffer even a bite.

OMG!!!

I’ve seen that guy’s show on Discovery. He’s pretty hard core.

I wouldn’t be standing hip deep in the same water I took that fish from.

[alarm rider]

Holy crap! I think that must be the fish that ate my guns when they fell out of the canoe.

No, YOU can.
