    I hope you have seen one of the more recent episodes of River Monsters… They have a feature on the Goonch…. Its a pretty cool episode.
    When I first saw the fish…. (no teeth yet).. I thought Flatheads on steroids….

    I talked to a guy from South Africa online once. I’d like to go there if I had the miracle trip to where ever. You see a lot of stuff on South America but Africa? The guy had a big wad of feathers so he could catch little ones on a flyrod. The fish looked somewhat like this but these pics are crappy. web page

    He said they came up to sun themselves and you marked the place then went back and caught them with like 8# baits.

    Just the thought of getting in that water scares the crap out of me. I think I’ll stay in a boat.

    I don’t remember the name of the series but it was filmed for the BBC for the British Discovery channel I think. Big Fish Safari or something but they fished for several species of giant African catfish as well as Nile perch and other monster fish. Was really Cool. Drifting by lions, hippos, elephants and giant crocks while drifting huge pieces of cutbait for large cats.
