Fishing guide
Kamba Catfish (Chrysichthys cranchii) is the largest African catfish. It has a moderately oblong body and four pairs of barbels, and its dorsal and pectoral fins boast sharp barbs. This fish has a varied diet: it can feast on anything from aquatic vegetation and insects to snails, prawns, crawfish, and fish. To catch an adult Kamba Catfish, we recommend choosing powerful tackle, since its weight can reach about 130 kg (286 lb)!
If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Shads.
The most successful lure is Purple Dust Ribbed Shad 15 cm.
