Vundu Catfish fishing
About Vundu Catfish
The classic Zambezi vundu, a huge African catfish that lurks in deep river holes and lake margins and feeds aggressively after dark. Anglers anchor big fresh or cut baits on the bottom in current near structure, with night and warm conditions producing the best runs. It is one of the strongest freshwater fish in the region, so heavy rods, strong line and patience are essential.
Typical size: Typically 5 to 25 kg; trophy fish over 50 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 55 kg (varies by region).
