Hey chaps 113kg Nile Perch caught at Murchison Falls Uganda, usually catch and release as this is a national park, however a croc was showing some keen interest while trying to revive this monster so a decision was made to bring it on board!

Some Aussie tosspot on the net is claiming that this is a Barramundi caught in some Aussie backwater, i know the guide in the pic personally, some English oke that caught the fish, also for us Ugandans, one guy is holding a "Nile Special" beer one of our local brews with lekker skop!

What an awesome fish! Haha the aussies wish their barra got anywhere near that size. I was just talking to some fly fishing guys here in the uk about a trip to uganda for niloticus, you got a pretty compeling reason to make the trip in that picture bro. All the best

Nice fish, good catch, well done. Goes to show there are some muscle fish in the fresh also.

In heaven, even the canary curpers are going to be that size !

Next time take some bricks for the crock.

That my friend is my ultimate Freshwater fish. Why travel to any other continent for a monster freshwater fish.

Was it caught in the main current below the falls? Must have been an awesome fish, surely more powerful than a lake fish?
