He brought knowledge. He brought equipment. He brought a story. He didn't bring a fishing net.

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.

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!

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

Only the most skilled fishermen can change rods while fish is on.

One more thing… If Helliwood ever needed a stunt double for Kriss Krisstopherson, this guy would be an uncanny shoe-in!

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.

@@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.

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.

That's more like a barracuda than a pirana

Andy, you need a quick-strike rig, Musky fishermen have been using them for years.

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

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.

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 !

The ultimate!!!

Go to the river that they are traditionally found, tie on a large swimbait with wire litre and whallah. You are all set.

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.

This "expert angler" should really learn how to use the drag on his reel.

Turn up the volume of the background music because I can still hear the dialogue.

No wonder he’s staying at the bottom of the river this man has balls of steel

17/ 16 percent of Africans wondered why you put her back ?? MMMMM good meal...

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.

Zambezi tigers rock!!

These fish are NOT a PLAGUE and are NOT DEADLY. HUMANS ARE.

was nice until six minutes and andy was the documentary now

You supposed to give the chief the first one. You brooked your promise.

Australia gets too much credit

Amazing me how every single show, they always catch the fish on the very last day before they must return home

crazy Afrikaner . 😎😎

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...

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.

Are they any good to eat or a lot of bones?

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.

He was forcing it not playing it, if you try to drag a fish that big you will lose it every time. Tighten and losen your drag as needed, let it run .

Dude doesn't deal with adversity very well...

Plagues? This fish has been around for ages. The only animal which plagues earth is us humans, what positive thing did we bring here?

Absurd nonsense. This man is utterly ludicrous. This fish is simply part of a balanced eco system and poses no threat to man whatsoever….

Dude gets too close to shore on foot. Crocs are at the top

using a bottom feeding catfish as bait seems like a rookie move to me. a goliath isn't usually hunting on the bottom this is obvious. it hunts schools of baitfish not bottom feeding catfish. too risky to snap a tooth chomping at the bottom at a catfish. a silvery type smaller fish whatever they have there like a mullet would be much better. also using 2 giant trebel hooks is just going to make them very shy. one circle hook is all it takes. a real rookie! plus the whole no net thing is just hilarious.

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! 😂😂😂

Not as deadly as the WOLF FISH. That will jump 2ft+ to attack it unaware victims.

This guy don't even know how to pull a fish in pretty sad.
