Only a photo chaps but this is the biggest Sable I have seen to date. Apologies for the pic as my son was wielding the camera that day.

Andrew,

Obviously even to the untrained eye a superb sable. Nice vundu also and a happy fisherman.
You have an e-mail from moi.

Must be horrible for that poor Sable having to carry that weight around on his head. Someone should put him out of his misery.

Truly magnifisent! Now Andrew, we are not going to believe it died of old age or suddenly became a problem animal, charging the locals when that set of horns are going to be lying around your house in the near future!
Bwanamich has a point mate...but still a nice fish! Congratulations.

Andrew,
Do y'all eat those catfish? Here in Tx they are a staple (for some at least) have heard the Vundu is not very tasty. Opinion?

Quite right Lane these are catfish and not Vundu. We do eat them and they are excellent. Here me and my son Ryan are preparing them for dinner. Foil and salt is all you need.

Note the breached pectoral fins on this Vundu. The fin on our catfish is singular.

Ok! I'm not a African fish expert. Nice CATFISH! Now I do remember Arthur Taylor pointing out the fins on the vundu distinguishing it from a catfish.
