Yes and the unexpected surfaced another Napoleon to add more charming to the trip!

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





That shows how brutal they can be!

Cape Du Diable from the sea, the place has a magical devilish spirit into it in anyway you look at it!

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

Fantastic report Sami, a good variety of fish and beautiful photos. Well done!!

[Sami Ghandour]

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.

Hello sami,

Next trip i wand to go to a place where i have a real good chance to
Catch a dog tooth tuna. In mai i will go to Panama. But next trip must
Be a trip for dog tooth. So what would be your opinion? The south pacific is to
Far at the moment.

Best regards,

Arnout.
