Ralph Pandoy has done it again and shown that he is a master when it comes to catching massive fish in the watery depths of a river.
Ralph recently took some time out from his busy schedule and went to his “secret spot” along the Tugela River. After setting up and relaxing on his camp chair, it didn’t take long for him to catch some decent-sized fish.
It was later on in the day that he heard the drag on his reel screaming and just knew it was a “big one” that was taking the line very fast. Ralph rushed to his rod and set the hook… He battled the giant fish for a long period of time before it got tired and was finally hauled out of the river and onto the shore to weigh.
A quick photo was also taken before the feisty fish was safely released back into the water to fight another day. If you want to guess the weight, it was not less than 10kg!

The fish weighed in at a whopping 14.2kg, which is one of the biggest fish to come out of the waters near Ladysmith in recent times! Ralph will be heading out to the river again soon to land some great catches, so watch this space for more angling action.
Remember, if you go out on any fishing expeditions, send us your photographs and you could be in the next edition of the Ladysmith Gazette. Photographs can be emailed to saishm@dbn.caxton.co.za
