Josh since you are into ichthyology could you explain the difference between the catfish spices you catch also if you know is a vundu a subspecies or just a very large fish.
I know you wanted a reply from josh but I thought I could help, so in Zimbabwe the two main large catfish species we have are the vundu and the sharp tooth catfish (commonly referred to as a barbel) the vundu is the larger of the two and they can be differentiated by the large adipose fin on the vundu paired with a short dorsal fin, they are also a lighter brown color and have a much flatter head. The sharp tooth catfish doesn’t get as large as far as I know. They are normally much darker and also often have a molted skin coloration with a large long dorsal fin which runs down the length of the body all the way down to the tail of the fish. Sharp tooth catfish (clarias gariepinus) Vundu (heterobranchus longfilis)
@@castingwithconnor4296 so which one is commonly called muramba by the shona. Thanks for the education btw. I didn't even know we had different types of catfish in Zim

Thanks! Yes fishing is the best!

Is your hookup ratio better by hooking the livebait through the tail?
It’s pretty bad anyway we hook them😂 but I think just behind the head is probably better
Josh what are your average water temp for your part of the world during the winter?
I’m not 100% sure I’d have to check, but my guess is around maybe 17 degrees C but I could be wrong
Nice video👌🏽
Thanks!

What is the trick to catching the baby tiger's?
Worms on a small hook, with a small sinker or no sinker, casting into areas near structure where you think you might find small tigers
Is there any 🐊 and hipos
