coueselk Report post Posted November 9, 2013 Here are a few photos from my fishing trip in Zambia last week. Was a good break from work. I only landed a couple of Tigers, but had fun fighting whole lot of others that got away. Arms were really sore. Using 50lb braided line with 80lb steel wire leaders. Had two fish strip all the line off the reels and another three that broke the steel wire. The fight was great though. Our airport and greeting party. Local taxi and cargo ship Some local fishermen bringing in their nets A fish eagle diving in to get a fish and off it goes with it's catch. Sunset over the great Zambezi river Our fishing gear. Notice what we use for bobbers. My 12 1/2 lb Tigerfish Here is my other 12lb Tiger. Was really hurting after this one. He stripped out about 150 meters of line. Last day sunset, marking the spot of home 14,000 miles away 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coueselk Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Thanks to all for the comments. It is a great experience. I'm trying to get a trip setup for the Goliath tiger fish on the Congo river before I leave Africa. This fish can get up to 6+ times bigger than these we caught on the Zambezi.
