It's like a rainbow trout, but a lot bigger and instead of a red/bluish stripe the entire fish is a rusty colored red. Local myths say that the strain of trout is a mutation called by all the sulfer from the coal mines. Old timers claim that the small streams that the unique species of fish live in once were filled with normal rainbow and brook trout.
The fish has built up a resistance to the sulfer and is the only fish that can live in water that has been contaminated by sulfer. Scientists are trying to study the fish to learn more about it. It's not known how many are thought to exist. The two streams that the fish inhabits are only a grand total of 1.4 miles combined in length.
The above story is ficticious and was meant for sheer entertainment. The real Goliath Tiger Fish resides in the Congo region of Africa.
This has got to be the most exciting opportunity to go for a seriously toothy creature, the Goliath Tiger fish, awesome fighters, with incredible surges and jumps, for a big fish they are extremely acrobatic, generally taken trolling or dead/live bait fishing, no one has seriously gone after them with a fly rod and the world record is waiting for an adventurer to take.
The legendary Goliath Tigerfish is ranked by ‘In Fisherman’ magazine as one of the top 10 hardest-fighting freshwater fish on the planet. Tigerfish is the common name for a variety of species from several different families of fish, usually on account of their colouration or otherwise fearsome appearance.
