Thanks!

[@johanpieterse3384]

Is your hookup ratio better by hooking the livebait through the tail?

[@ThisisAfricaOutdoors]

It’s pretty bad anyway we hook them😂 but I think just behind the head is probably better

[@pieterprinsloo2362]

Josh what are your average water temp for your part of the world during the winter?

[@ThisisAfricaOutdoors]

I’m not 100% sure I’d have to check, but my guess is around maybe 17 degrees C but I could be wrong

[@ethanadlam4186]

Josh since you are into ichthyology could you explain the difference between the catfish spices you catch also if you know is a vundu a subspecies or just a very large fish.

[@castingwithconnor4296]

I know you wanted a reply from josh but I thought I could help, so in Zimbabwe the two main large catfish species we have are the vundu and the sharp tooth catfish (commonly referred to as a barbel) the vundu is the larger of the two and they can be differentiated by the large adipose fin on the vundu paired with a short dorsal fin, they are also a lighter brown color and have a much flatter head. The sharp tooth catfish doesn’t get as large as far as I know. They are normally much darker and also often have a molted skin coloration with a large long dorsal fin which runs down the length of the body all the way down to the tail of the fish. Sharp tooth catfish (clarias gariepinus) Vundu (heterobranchus longfilis)

[@ThisisAfricaOutdoors]

Yes exactly right

[@ThisisAfricaOutdoors]

In the lowvelt we only get the sharptooth catfish

What is the trick to catching the baby tiger's?

[@ThisisAfricaOutdoors]

Worms on a small hook, with a small sinker or no sinker, casting into areas near structure where you think you might find small tigers

[@trxguava980]

Is there any 🐊 and hipos

[@ThisisAfricaOutdoors]

Yes both

[@nazirghumra4630]
