In September of 08 I travelled up to Botswana to film (safari and film africa) and guide (tourette fishing) on the annual catfish run.
This is when the Sharptooth Catfish form huge shoals, surround and pursue the small baitfish that hide in the structure and where on the periphery Tigerfish lurk waiting for a meal. This is the target species-the striped water dog!
The activity and runs were not as significant as later on in the season but it was still an interesting time and some good fish were landed-10 pounders and some tipping the scales just short of 10 were the order of the day! In between groups I managed to throw a line myself but could only manage a 7lb fish, the nice thing was finally christening my new TFO pro series 9 weight rod! Its a beaut and really has a nice action to work with!
