[Jan 4]Latham Island,Tanzania--One of The Pemba Channel Fishing Club's Bertram's Shuwari, while fishing out of Latham Island hooked up and boated a Giant Grouper weighing 179.5 kg.

Robert Paddle (2000, p. 4), in his book: The Last Tasmanian Tiger, quotes an average direct length for an adult male thylacine as 1.63m, and an adult female as 1.54m. The average male body length measurement as cited by Paddle is consistent with the sample group.
Sumatran tigers are the smallest of all living subspecies of the tiger. Adult males weigh between 100 and 140 kilograms (220 to 310 pounds) and the females weigh 75 to 110 kilograms (170 to 240 pounds).
