These are just some of the monsters caught outside club competition over the years while we were out just having fun.
Tony with a 5.45kg Loskop Hound Pig, the biggest fish in club history.
Kobus with his 5.24kg Donkey Slab caught in Zimbabwe.
John B with a fish very close to 10 pounds out of Drie Koppies, caught right at the end of the perfect day of whacking plenty of fish.
This fish was on the cover of Bassafrica Magazine, Mike the legend himself Bailey with a 10 pounder from Nottingham in Zimbabwe
Even the weather could not remove the smile from Mitch with this over 2kg fish on a Buzzbait out of Albert Falls, to hear Mitch tell the story he says Tony said dont throw that rubbish, Mitch then caught 4 more after this one and Tony dived for a buzzbait...
Ryno with a Mokolo Bass only his mother could love.
Tonys best catch?
Di with a 10.35lb monster caught at Fimbiri in Zimbabwe on a green pumpkin Senko. This is her PB, and it is bigger than Johns :-)
The Fearless Leader and his PB also at Fimbiri that weighed 10 lbs even, proof that Di caught a bigger one...
Mike and Mark on the day Mark learned everything he knows :-) Mr Bailey gave us a lesson of note on catching fish in the heaviest cover you could find, he really is GOOD
Now he was just showing off his new jacket, you should see his muscles without it though... With Mike is Pete Furber and another slab from Zimbabwe
Tony and his first 10 pounder... This Giant came out of Nagle Dam and then he had the ability...
They just keep coming, Tony with a 3.8kg from Maguga in Swaziland, this was caught the day before an in-house, pity it was the biggest fish caught that weekend...
John B with a fish of over 3 kg from Drie koppies, this fish started a giant expedition to the dam where we had probably the best few days of fishing ever, we were catching 60+ fish a day on each boat and just experiencing Bass Nirvana.
Just stop it already, that is fish number 23476 for Tony bigger than my biggest.
Sir, Prof, General, Dr, the Right Honourable Mr Halstead caught this fish during the Cast For Cash Champion of Champion Finals, with a million bucks on the line and a trip to the States, John needed a kicker Bass to win the whole thing, then this 2.6kg ate his lure, he was already spending the money and planning the trip when he saw it was a Kurper.
Two fat Nembwe, caught at Shikawe, north of the Okavango Delta in Sept 2007 - about 2kg each
He can also catch big Bass this one was at Buffelspoort in 2007, a giant for the dam, note how the boat changes with every fish he catches, his new Tornado is boat number 482
Tony and his world record Bass, ok it is a Nile Perch caught at Lake Nasser in May 2005, I hate him when he tells stories about these giants jumping around and how you should not strike them, the heat and the food they had. One of his awesome trips for the fish of the world.
This is something a few of us love to do, go and do the Vaal Shuffle in the raging rapids below the Vaal Barrage for Yellowfish on fly, occasionally you get a mud fish though, ok every darn time I try catch a Yellow...
Its hectic doing the Vaal Shuffle.
Sometimes the Vaal shuffle claims victims, PW and the Young Whisperer did not do it well, Chota wading boots and all.
Emile Sada runs a lodge on Cohora Bassa and as can be seen there are monster Tiger fish there and he knows where they live and how to catch them, this freakin beast weighed 22lbs, WOW
Tony does not live there but nearly beat the guide with an 18lbs fish, Pete can be seem already fighting the next one and that is how the whole trip worked out, one giant Tiger after another, Tony can clearly be seen showing Emile what he thinks of his, its small comments
John C and a Barramundi caught in Oz in 2007, this beast weighed approx 45lb. John says, What an awesome fish to catch on bass tackle in 5ft of water. The aerobatics were truly impressive and memorable
Feeding Rays in the Maldives, they come to the resort every night and make pig grunting noises when you feed them, more exciting are the GTs and Blue Spot Kingfish that troll the deeper water behind the rays and smash the bait you throw at them
So I go to the Maldives to catch a Sailfish, 53000 USD a day for a boat and I get a stinking Wahoo, I could have gone to Durban at 80 bucks a week for that :-) We did throw at a surface Sailie though and he refused us :-)
