African Sharptooth Catfish fishing
About African Sharptooth Catfish
The African sharptooth catfish is a hardy, air-breathing scavenger found across African lakes, rivers and swamps, able to survive in low-oxygen and even muddy water. Anglers catch it on the bottom with cut bait, offal, dough and other smelly baits, mostly after dark when it forages actively. It grows large, pulls hard with a slow heavy fight, and its slimy, eel-like body and sharp pectoral spines call for careful handling.
Typical size: Usually 2-8 kg; trophies over 25 kg, to about 1.4 m. Record (approx.): approx. 35 kg (varies by region).
