Oct. 2013 SOTM Entry: Zambezi Tiger

From the inbox:

Chum-

I caught this dinosaur after three days of floating the upper Zambezi.  Like a freight train, the fish smashed my clouser a few feet from the bank, then like a flash was to my backing and tail dancing down the mighty Zambezi.  This was a day after having a slightly bigger one smash my eight weight into pieces. 

I am also including a pick of a 22lb barbel I caught on a black and orange clouser the day earlier.  That one was just luck though.  I was fishing for tigers and nailed this one right up next to the bank. 

Thanks for a great website!
