African Sharptooth Catfish

African Sharptooth Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is one of the largest representatives of its genus inhabiting this latitude. It prefers deep areas with a slow or medium current and a rocky or sandy bottom. Thanks to its large mouth this predator can swallow large prey whole. Its maximum length can reach 170 cm (67 inches), with its weight measuring up to 60 kg (132 lb)! What is particular about the African Sharptooth Catfish is its ability to breathe atmospheric air. It can also sometimes make sounds similar to loud croaking.
The African Sharptooth Catfish is omnivorous and most active at night. It feeds on water beetles, mollusks, fish, vegetation, and even organic waste.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch African Sharptooth Catfish would be to use Chicken Liver on a size #10/0 hook.

If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Shads.

The most successful lure is Purple Dust Ribbed Shad 15 cm.
