Danger Elliott hefts a huge barbel caught on the KZN coast
Danger Elliott from the KZN Lower South Coast, shows us a real barbel, caught and released on a live bait, at a secret spot somewhere.
The Flathead Barbel is a tough and versatile fish that seems to survive and prosper anywhere. They love the conditions on the south coast and are caught here all year round, in rivers and damns – salt or fresh. Also known as Sharptooth Catfish and Vundu, they also grow to massive sizes and eat almost anything… even a basketball reportedly!
Very Nice Fish Danger!

Catch information finally submitted by Dane Elliott - the fish weighed in at a whopping 23kg's - 50 lbs! It was caught on a live tilapia, in a damn in the Umzumbe area.
The best part of the story is the 7kg line on a super light outfit, making for a 45 minute fight!
The fish swam away in a perfectly happy state after being released...
