I didn't think Poly's were that dangerous that you have to carry a gun when fishing for them. Maybe I should sleep with a revolver by my bedside from now on... :grinno:
haha they're monsters :D

Seriously though, i think calling them 'poachers' is misleading. first of all, the fish are legal to catch. And it's not like they are an illegal organization catching these fish and selling them to the highest bidder in the black market or whatever.

basically, the japanese led several teams to east africa looking for the fish, and these are fisherman working with them to catch the fish, and guns are a necessary protection.

yes the japanese did but with proper papers and permission, no fish is allowed to enter a certain country from another unless you bypass the authorities,yes they are legal to catch but importing is different thing

:confused: i'm sure they have the proper papers/permit to legally import the fish, and i'm sure its not too difficult for the company to do since they're in the import business and familiar with the process. There's no need to bypass the authorities or anything. it's not like the fish is on the prohibitive list.
 
I wonder if the gun is for crocs, hippos or giant polys?

Yeah I agree, calling them poachers is a stretch. Poachers are people who hunt and kill Tigers and other endangered animals illegally. Bichirs are legal to catch and if I could go to my local lake and catch some trust me I'd try. Also Africa is far from a nice place. The gun is probably for protection, and rocking one with a speedo is straight gangsta!
