The biggest GT landed on the trip and measured at 134cm, estimated around the 48kg mark.





That shows how brutal they can be!

Happy to land that beauty!




It wouldn't be nice to leave the city without experiencing it is culture and the way people live in this part of the world, so we took a quick ride to the Zoo and it is surrounded area.









As sad as it is but will only make me appreciate the way we live.













They're probably poor but they are happy!

Great report! Always wanted to go there but it's just that little too far for anglers in this part of the world. Perhaps circumstances will change in the future  :)

Thank you Luke & Ken,

I already booked a spot for next year and i am working on doing back to back trip,the place is magical and the potential and the variety is great, it keeps any angler busy the whole day and that is what i like about it, heading North of Diego Suarez will be a great opportunity for topwater Doggy, it is worth the 24 hours flight and i will do it again in a blink of an eye  ;)
Luke are you coming  :)

Hi Arnout,
Most likely January or February 2015, the place have a great potential and the opportunity is there for great topwater bites from GT's to Doggies depends on the fishing location on that part of the world.
