TIGERFISH NORTH AFRICAN (Hydrocynus brevis)

Angler Marc Towers traveled to Ghana and  while casting a Mepps spinner from the banks of Lake Volta,  hooked a 12.93 kg - 28 lb north African tigerfish.

The distribution of this fish isn't to clear. Surely Ghana, Cameron and Ivory Coast and probably other river systems in central Africa.
