Lovely video! I grew up in Tanzania, on the lake (see my video on youtube). I just came back to UK from a visit. What can I say..? Rampant bilharzia due to Nile Perch eating the snail-predators, mercurial poisoning of lake from illegal gold-miners, over-fishing, declining fish stocks, flourishing water hyacinth, growing population, grinding poverty, epidemic HIV levels...! The world seems to have a blind spot for this burgeoning catastrophe.

@012greenej I caught an 300 lb giant mekong catfish.

And another thing, weird to see you getting those catfishes, in Mali they only appear during rain sesaon (3 months) along with several other species. During the dry season I've only caught them in deep narrow gorges between rocky surroundings. Never in open water..

Looks amzing, me and my family been fishing these in Mali in West-Africa since 1990, in the Senegal river, but haven't got bigger then 22,5 kgs. Seems like you need to visit the bigger rivers or the lakes to get in touch with more of the the bigger ones.
Took my dad 7 years to discover that they were hiding under rocks during the day and often near water falls..or currents...but never IN the current, always resting under a huge rock.
Going to Zambia in february, any tips for fishing there?

During height of Idi Amin's reign, people stopped eating fish from certain areas due to the human remains they were finding inside them.

on lake nasser a nile perch 102lbs was caught! Has anyone here got anything close to that?

A 108 Kg (237lb) Nile Perch was caught at the falls by Marco Magyar in 2000, that kinda puts your 102lb fish in the shade! I don't know if it has been 'bettered' yet.

I was on that boat back in 2000. Same driver too! Shane!!! WOW that brings back so many memories. I cant wait to visit again soon!!!! My brother and I didn't catch any nile perch, but the bait fish were big enough :)
All I can say is, its freaking crazy fishing between a few hippos and some crocs!!!
