I was lucky enough to take an African safari, and got a chance to fish on the Zambezi river, although it was concierge fishing, where the guide does everything for you except reel the fish in. I landed two fish that day: a ~6 pound tigerfish, and what I think was a ~12-pound vundu - it was definitely some kind of catfish. It did last a while out of the water - it was even still kicking when we brought it back to the lodge so it could be cooked and eaten - and they are members of the Clariidae family, which is the family of air-breathing catfish. I distinctly remember the rod - which was a cheap-looking thing - bending almost 180 degrees when it got hooked. If that lunker had been any bigger or any more of a figther, it might have snapped the rod in two. But it was only afterwards that I learned that I had dodged a proverbial nuke - the boat had been spotted by a hippopotamus, and it had been gunning for us while I was reeling the 12-pounder in, so the guide was driving the boat away from the greatest of Africa's river monsters while also trying to make sure I could reel my own smaller river monster in.

Sounds like such a fun experience! The Zambezi is such a beautiful place, what a lovely memory, thanks for sharing.

Hi
Use fire tiger spinner
No threespot or nembwe?
We got some three spot
What boat is that?
put rod down,put rod down😂
Circle hook failed you because you hit/striked the fish... just wind into it to set the hook.
Thanks next time
