MONSTERS OF THE DEEP
No... it's not a shark, it's a vundu (Heterobranchus longifilis) - the largest freshwater fish in Southern Africa. These large air-breathing catfish are found in the Zambezi River and Lake Kariba and can reach up to 1.5 m (5 ft) in length and 55 kg (121 lb) in weight. (Bull sharks are larger, but occur in both fresh and saltwater.)
They provide excellent sport (and hard work) for keen anglers, but since Vundu are a protected species in Zimbabwe this must be strictly on a Catch and Release basis
This awesome image comes from the River God Adventures fishing video referred to above, and shows a large vundu just released, swimming back into the depths of the Zambezi to live another day. The footage perfectly captures the beautiful, languid movement of these magnificent river monsters.
You can read more about vundu in a Wild Zambezi Blog written by Changa Safari Camp, which is situated in the Matusadona National Park on Lake Kariba and, like other camps on the lake, offers fishing as one of its prime tourism activities.
