He brought knowledge. He brought equipment. He brought a story. He didn't bring a fishing net.
,😆🤣, funniest shit of the day. Thanks
😂😂😂
Ya all these would be at least half million should be grateful for very hard to find angler Andy!
His hook set drag could be abit tighter
He should have brought Jeremy Wade!
Jeremy Wade did amazingly well to catch a giant one in such a short time there? Hes caught goonch catfish in india and wolffish in the Amazon too! No other fisherman has caught those 3 rare monsters in a lifetime of fishing! Hes the GOAT!
Yeah, and some other giants like the giant freshwater stingray in South East Asia.
GTFOH! He's a googan too. Just because you have the money to go catch fish in foreign places doesn't make you a good fisherman.
Wade's done incredibly well!
The problem with it all is that he is not the only one that has done that.
He is just a person that makes a living of telling other people about it and brag about it.
Others just enjoy the fishing and feel no need to brag about it.
Andy is just another example of "famous" an angler that love to brag and exaggerate what he does and claim how extremely dangerous everything is and how brave and amazing he is.
Just like Wade does.
Wade is NOT the GOAT as you say.
He is just the most famous of these guys because of his platform.
And both Andy and Wade tend to lie and tell half truths to make it look more amazing than it really is.
And I understand why they do, because that is the demand today to make it in the industry.
I have met anglers in North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Europe that are way better anglers than any of these two and all other famous anglers on TV, social media and magazines.
@carnivore2023 I thought Andy was a bit ridiculous in his methods, as long as I've lived and even with elusive fish I know two things, 1 is you don't need to swim with them to learn about them and 2, always bring a net
35 years ago we were on a house boat holiday on Lake Kariba and my dad caught a nice tiger fish. He had it mounted and still has it today and those teeth are incredible!
Andy is one of the most inept fishermen imaginable. He finally catches one by accident (wire leader wraps around the fishes jaw) and he does not have a gaff or a net to bring it into the boat. No wonder he was worried about his hands.
@frankblangeard8865 gaff? For such a rare highly strung predator...they can be tail wrist lifted..
Only the most skilled fishermen can change rods while fish is on.
😂.
I was just looking at the spinning/ conventional myself. Lol
Dude is reeling in against a pulling drag , my 5 yr old nephew has more fishing skill than that.
"IM GOING AFTER A TWO METER FISH!" (pulls our zebco 202 open face with 10lb test that is 5 years old)
I'm lmfao
Lol l had that 202 then the 808...
My favorite part is where he's fighting the fish on a baitcaster spinning combo.
I really applaud the effort put into the quest!! But get a fisherman for the next video, Please! Thanks
He is fishing with a spinning rod and reel and all of a sudden at 32:10 there’s a conventional reel! And then it’s gone! 😂
Good catch, i missed that lol
I'm going to tell you why. He's a HOAXER.
8:16 The large fish is CGI. And the crock overhead is stock footage. I downloaded the same clip on my computer.
A bait caster becomes a spincaster reel🤣
Um....well, the tiger isn't Africa's piranha. It doesn't behave like a piranha and hardly ever bites people, except careless anglers who haven't ever heard of fishermans' pliers before. It is native to Africa and plays an essential role in the ecosystem, so if you want to chat about problem fish in Africa I suggest focusing on alien invader species such as bass, trout and carp, which well and truly plague African waters and fishes.
That would be true for the Goliath tiger... The smaller variants congregate together for feeding purpose or mating...
@@asifimam88 I've noticed that the tigerfish shoal together when they are fairly small and tend to herd tilapia or mudfish , much the same as other predators such as European perch, kingfish or dolphins. Larger individuals are loners. However it's always to prey on fish, never humans or aquatic animals such as otters or crocodiles.
In packs.Piranha,snake heads,tiger fish are all more deadly in a hungry pack.Now solo piranha are wimps except the Blacks.A solo Goliath tiger fish has been known to bite a few people on record.Mistaken identity or a quick splash might trigger them for a second.I highly doubt they will attack a human for food.Snake heads will attack people solo,They are very aggressive especially when nesting.
@@joshuagarvey9362 Josh, there's no doubt that there have been very isolated but well documented cases of a bite on human beings by goliath tigerfish. This was probably because of a flashing watch or something which they mistook for a baitfish - just as divers who are bitten by barracuda for example, for wearing similar flashy items. On more than a few occasions I have seen bass acting as a wolf pack when hunting for tilapia, but again, it's the smaller ones who tend to shoal like that. Goliath tigers and tigers are favorite fly fishing targets for catch and release, and are quite safe to handle if you have suitable gear for landing them and have respect for them. I would say the chances of the average person being bitten while diving, swimming or fishing are around 000.1% in a lifetime.
It's the Baraka of the African waterways
Thank you Andy...at least man has found a true adversary
Andy is the reason that women live longer than we do.
The village elder gave him 1 rule. And he totally disobeyed it. That fish could've provided a meal for the village. Give it to the people that graciously let you stay and hunt from their land especially in 3rd world countries.
Afrikaner attitude.
I wouldn't expect anything less from the y t man. Aint shit
@@441rider???
@@nashcoleon4244 I should have said colonial mindset.
Seeing they spent an insane amount to travel it would have been best to have bought a couple hundred bucks of food for the village so you can still release the endangered animal a village in northeast Australia ish don't remember exactly could have been an island in that area ate one of the last verified Tasmanian Tigers over tradition... sometimes it's better to feed the village and not give in to silly superstition
Sorry, but the cuts of the video....
Putting together a fantasy fishing situation from four situations
Yeh you can see the different fishing reels
It literally said in the video that it took him weeks of trying 💀
He broke his word to the chief of the village. He was supposed to give his first Goliath catch to the Chief as he agreed to do. Guess he's never heard of circle hooks. I've had mine go right through a Long nosed alligator gar's bony mouth. He apparently missed the memo about using a dip net to land his fish. He'd of had a couple of those earlier ones that he got up to the boat with a good dipnet. He's had to have gone carp fishing during his life as a fisherman. Absolutely unqualified, under equipped and a very poor fisherman. I'm thinking that they probably caught the Goliath using a cast net and then rigged it up to look like he caught it himself. Very convenient that he just happened to land one on his very last day.
using music and special effect like this is such a history channel thing to do these days. i wish more people could dial it back from a 10 to a 3
What a bunch of billshit drama , that guy is a very poor fisherman.
he really stinks. He is an educated fisherman.... lol. better than us. Yet cannot catch crap.
His rod technique is hopeless. I doubt he really fishes much. After losing "50 fish" he never changed his rig?
Are you Jeremy Wade? lol
well said,you can tell the way he handles the rod and reel,
@@pigsandapples And fishing with out a net.We all would lose the fish .He lucky he got a small one 😂
Many thanks for sharing this wonderful experience with us
I feel like I'm a bit of traitor watching this, I first watched Jeremy Wade catch one of these, awesome fish 👍
Word to that "River Monsters" for lyfe.......J.W is Boss
😅

This rich-boy is SUCH a putz.
Great enthusiast and good fisherman! He showed us underwater of great river.
i am not impressed ...dont quit ur day job buddy
When u going
What a journey! congratulations to Andy on finally landing one and much respect for returning it
Guess the chief didn’t get to eat fish
That's what I was thinking . I would sleep with one eye open .
Ha ha
The chief probably sent a search party after him
I think he had moved location from where the elder was.
@@joeking22 that actually would make sense.
I rented a houseboat on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. We caught several tiger fish, including a couple of impressive size. All I’ll say is, the guy on the video is quite a showman.
This guy isn't much of a fisherman. He keeps on trying to set the hook before the fish has the bait all the way in its mouth. He can barely cast the bait. Rookie.😂
Those teeth in the thumbnail 😅.... And a full size adult male crocodile doesn't fear anything at nearly a ton.
He’s a very poor fisherman. The video is really well made. I watched 50 minutes just to see the two meter devil fish with the huge teeth. he didn’t end up catching one. SMH 😩 KMN 😭
The world record Tiger fish caught with hook and line was a 154 lb. monster Tiger fish. IGFA record. Caught in 1988.
put three huge treble hooks into a bait fish and have a local take you out to cast it in the river. The secret knowledge of the ancients. lol
poor fisherman with old gear, horrible filmmakers who spent only 5 minutes filming the thing they were looking for an hour. thumbs down
hey Many Puik.... glad yr back.....
Never knew Africa has piranha deadly fish. Then again, most animal origin in so-called New World, S American species came from or copycat of Africa which usually are larger, if not more vicious and numerous... A big kudos n thanks to Andy hard to find brave angler! Hope he will be OK, NOT being attacked during his first and last stage of catching Goliath Tigerfish!
What an Awesome fishing adventure with a Awesome angler catching a Awesome fish.....man shot outs to the Congo, the Marketplace, the Shaman lady and all the Boatsmen
They are excellent Smoked.
Catch was good Release was Awesome 👏 👍🎣
Njengomdobi nomthandi we-Afrika, ngiyakwazi ukulandisa. Thanks Andy I really enjoyed this one! Cheers! Ex EHS John Rose
We fish for alligator gar in Texas. Gar have a similar jaw. You have to let them swallow the bait without drag before setting the hook.
If you let them swallow it can kill the fish. He was doing catch and release.
I kept 5 of these in a 680 gal tank. I thought it would be kool to have a mini school. They were constantly fighting and slashing at each other. If I would have known they fight even in the wild I would have never kept more than one.
Like Back piranhas.You can only keep one in the tank or they will kill on another .
I’m not a pro fisherman but @38:45, if I was hooked onto a giant fish with teeth, I wouldn’t be yanking the shit out of that rod everytime before I reel it in😂.
He was having trouble, he said, getting the hooks to get purchase in the fish's jaws. Of the ones he lost, maybe he needed to strike that little bit harder.
I'm not a fisherman but I enjoyed this video. Reminds me of a Texas survivalist (can't remember his name) that goes fishing with all natural, scratch-made pole, line, and hook. As I recall, he used a gorge hook design made from a cactus-like succulent and said the fish needed to swallow the gorge so it lodges in the throat rather than the jaw. Maybe Andy should have used a gorge hook for these Tigerfish?
Sir, you caught a real fearsome kind of fish 👍
Why are they cutting to a different video of someone else fishing as b-roll like wtf
More deadly teeth than lion or tiger! WELL, done indeed Andy that size is 4-6 times of South American Piranha! US
He should have experimented with different hooks , those treble hooks arnt always the best, a double rig with circle hooks might have given him the edge !
Thats what I thort to , surely Hes tried circle hooks , didnt see any in this vid tho lol .
I thought this guys attitude was pretty cool. Good fish 🎣
Why do these fishermen "miraculously" catch the big fish on their last day.
I guess this doco would have only been 10 minutes if he caught it on the first.
Get where I'm going with this?
I don't care what anyone thinks of this comment but this guy's got balls!!
Dude that's a hellish fish to tackle.
That's more like a barracuda than a pirana
Amazing me how every single show, they always catch the fish on the very last day before they must return home
Nice !
There's only two freshwater fish that are on my dream species list the Goliath Tiger and the Golden Dorado. I have a couple freshwater bucket list fish I need to cross off my list first.
Ahhhh yesss…the Golden Dorado. 👊
Look at those snappers..Ralph!
Feeling this channel..
Since the tribe leader asked to be given the first Goliath Andy catches so they can eat it, Andy should have given them the little tiny baby Goliath. It was his first catch! 😂😂😂
You asked what you did? It’s what you did not do and that is dip your rod tip down into the water and reel the moment you realized he was gonna jump.
-Cheers
According google AI, "goliath tigerfish, also known as Hydrocynus goliath, are considered good eating and have white flesh that tastes similar to bream, but with a bit more oil and bones." This is great food source for the local man!
No landing net no Chance! He got lots in to 5ft off the skiff. He could’ve got them all. Also those hooks need sharpening to kitten claw points every few hours. The water erodes the tips
I would have donated to Musium!
No wonder he’s staying at the bottom of the river this man has balls of steel
Sorry couldn't watch anymore but adverts are doing my head in, spoils the video!!
Conventional Reel right there buddy! Okay I’m out
Only Nile crocodiles keep these fish in check if I'm correct. That's a damn scary fish
They can't even show him using the same real with the first fish he catches. He starts out using a spinning reel, then it flashes to a level wind, then back to a spinning reel again. It makes you wonder if he's actually doing the fishing.😅
Not as deadly as the WOLF FISH. That will jump 2ft+ to attack it unaware victims.
This guy is basically the diet Jeremy Wade...
best of best. thank you so much. ^^*
You supposed to give the chief the first one. You brooked your promise.
Gladly I skipped through this until Minute 51, when O wonder he caught one....🤣
ok 1 thing whats with the reel on close up
I think they're adorbs
So elusive they managed to get footage after footage of the actual large fish underwater while this guys casts his bait a hundred times without success.
Andy sucks at fishing.. Hit 👍 if you agree!
Andy sucks at life. thumbs up if you agree. that voodoo chick probably cursed him.
How do you know that he is? It’s the most difficult fish to catch, not your staple fish like trouts.😂
This seems like BS to me.
Some people go Fishing - Some go Catching.
This "expert angler" should really learn how to use the drag on his reel.
Never heard of a dip net I guess
After all that I would immmediately prepared the elusive fish for dinner
I don't think his rod has enough backbone to get a good hook set he's going to have to burry the hook into the fishes mouth and keep it pinned with a tight line if he's going to have any chance at landing a trophy Goliath. And bigger hooks or smaller baits will increase his hookups.
At 32:11 it suddenly changes to a different rod and reel. Shenanigans!!
Shenanigans indeed!😂
They should’ve had me on the editing team lol
17/ 16 percent of Africans wondered why you put her back ?? MMMMM good meal...
Dude doesn't deal with adversity very well...
Zambezi tigers rock!!
Andy, you need a quick-strike rig, Musky fishermen have been using them for years.
Artist
Go to the river that they are traditionally found, tie on a large swimbait with wire litre and whallah.
You are all set.
They look like striped bass I wonder if a hybrid tiger/striper is feasible.
The ultimate!!!
good
The only part of this video I enjoyed was the scuba diving. It went downhill from there - guy can't fish and copying Jeremy Wade by going to the witchdoctor was lame.
50 lost fish? right...
What with the reels in 32:11? Perhaps to much splicing and editing. Kind regards. Perhaps more remarks when I have finished the video.
I won’t say the tiger fish is the meanest freshwater fish I give title to the Hoplias wolf fish.
Why don't you just hire Jeremy Wade as a guide. Seriously you're fishing in a boat for a toothy fish that you've spent weeks trying to catch and you haven't brought a landing net. Most anglers make that mistake once when they are novices and don't do it again.
crazy Afrikaner . 😎😎
he's not Afrikaner, he's dutch.
@@redemption8980 His accent is Afrikaner .
@@redemption8980 Andy Coetzee grew up in Pondoland near Kwazulu Natal . South Africa .
Call up Jermey Wade..
Are they any good to eat or a lot of bones?
I grew up fishing in Wisconsin. I don't think Andy knows how to fish
Turn up the volume of the background music because I can still hear the dialogue.
