Zambia it's a hard life!

As you can see from the smile on my face we had an absolutely fantastic time fishing on the Kafue. The Kafue river runs past the farm supplying it’s water and crocs! Doug, Eric and myself set of from the farm just after mid-day. We launched from beside the Kafue bridge which is about half an hour from the farm. Our host and captain for the day was Abe a professional hunter with the most colorful vocabulary you can imagine and the finest advice about women for Doug!

I had a lure in the water for two hours watching Doug pulling fish after fish in. It was just great being on the river in a speed boat (proper toy!) listening to the hippos grunt at you if you get to close. There were some fantastic pike with very formidable teeth. I think Abe was able to well the fish up from the depths with a dedicated and heart felt volley of “You *!^* !*!*’;\** **!!fish!!”

Suddenly Doug struck big and reeled in a half meter yellow belly. We kept trolling along past the same area and it was my turn bringing in two yellow belly the size you can see in the photo. By the end of the day we had an Esky full of fish, all well celebrated with the Mosi Beer! With the sun seting over the river the day could not have been any better.
