RUT Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hello fellow fisherman, This is my first posting and just by way of introduction I am basically a dedicated black fisherman. Just thought I would share some photos of Africa with you. A good mate of mine has been working in Uganda [Africa] for about 15 years building tourist lodges for 'filthy' rich. He occasionally sends me a few teaser photos. If you can get over the fact that the country is still being ravaged by aids/poverty/war and malaria it is still a very beautiful and raw place. The fish in the photos are all Nile Perch with the biggest weighing at least 130 kg's [the scales could not read any higher]. All fish were caught and released. Unfortunately for my mate he only witnessed the fish being caught. Enjoy the photo's. Good fishing everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdelux Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Awesome, they look alot like our Barra's, I'm surprised thye can reach that size, I wonder if our fish would ever grow to that size if we didnt fish them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyNurse Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The river systems must still be reasonably healthy for fish to grow that big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davemmm Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 They certainly look better than the Nile Perch that Woolys used to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Stalker Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Rut. They are cracker fish! I haven't seen a Nile perch before but seeing these makes me want to go to Africa and look for a few. They are absolutely tremendous. Do you know what he caught them on? Must have been some crazy heavy gear. Look forward to seeing more. Luc.

tuffy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The river systems must still be reasonably healthy for fish to grow that big! They feed on humans and small Rhinos. Tuffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
