Fishing for monster Nile perch

Henry Gilbey goes fishing for Nile perch below Murchison Falls in Uganda.
But there is a fish that lives here, a fish that grows to such large proportions that actually the mind slightly boggles at how such bulk enables a fish to inhabit conditions so treacherous. But the Nile perch is nothing if not resilient, with huge glowing eyes that surely must have extra special capabilities for seeing all manner of sorry prey, and such muscled flanks that serve to give the intrepid angler a gloriously torrid time.
