04. Muskellunge



 The Muskellunge has not yet led to any confirmed fatalities, but there are certainly ominous signs that they would be capable of such. The fish has long been feared, and grows to lengths of over 7 feet. This freshwater version of a Barracuda stalks the lakes of the Northern Hemisphere, and has a mouth full of daggers that can easily shred waterfowl, muskrats and perch. Muskellunge bites leave serious wounds, and an 80 pound fish would be capable of dragging down a victim. One 13-year-old girl was bitten and dragged underwater before escaping, and a capsized fisherman was badly chewed while treading water. The fish lurks in the weedy edges of lakes, lunging forward to capture prey.

03. Electric-Eel



 The Electric Eel is an apex predator from the Amazon that hunts and defends itself by releasing enough electricity to stun a horse. The 600 volts released by this giant relative of catfish is capable of killing a human directly through electrocution. In other cases, a lesser shock may still knock the victim unconscious, resulting in drowning. Electric eels may grow to over 8 feet, and weigh up to 50 pounds. Electric eels can only be handled safely with rubber gloves. Crossing a river is highly dangerous, as the water conducts the electricity very effectively, making it comparable to swimming in a bathtub with a plugged in hairdryer. Deaths have been confirmed.

02. Alligator Gar



 A prehistoric monster stalks the waters of the southeastern United States. Reaching lengths of over 10 feet, with a weight of over 400 pounds, the Alligator Gar is an ancient fish that looks more like a crocodile with its huge scales and enormous, fang studded mouth. In one case, a man was dangling his feet over a dock when a huge Alligator Gar latched on and attempted to pull him under. He escaped with his life – but others may not have been so lucky. Alligator Gary fatalities have not been confirmed, but the fish could be responsible for several mysterious drownings.

01. Bull Shark



 This last fish is, technically, still a shark. However, it is so far from a typical shark that it poses threats beyond the worst nightmares, and deserves the number one spot on this list.

The Bull Shark is a 7-12 foot fish weighing over 600 pounds – but with a difference. It thrives in fresh water, and can travel thousands of miles up rivers and into lakes, even as far inland as Missouri, Illinois or Kentucky! Bull Sharks have caused many deaths in murky freshwater environments, the notorious case being the New Jersey river attacks. Bull Sharks are the most aggressive shark species, possessing the highest testosterone level of any animal. Bull Sharks also have the strongest bite force of any living fish species.
