Monster Largemouth Yellowfish at Slypsteen Safari's,Orange River , Northern Cape.

This day, 13 September 2024, catching this Largemouth Yellow was the absolute highlight in my fishing career. Working for it,I’m aware that this fish and this opportunity was from my Heavenly Father. The water temperature fell with 2 degrees after a previous cold front making fishing hard work for the 3 sessions my brother and I had planned. We managed to catch around 30 small Largies and 10 Smallmouth Yellows. This 3rd session was very slow and after many casts this monster Largemouth could’t resist the Rapala. The Rapala Shad Rap Shallow Runner was my choice for this type of water. The take was brutal and it made a run for the island structure almost catching me off guard. The fish gave no head shakes just brutal pressure on the rod and I quickly realised I have something special on the line. My weighing equipment was too small to do a weight-in in a responsible manner, estimated weight around 14-15kg’s.(it will be upgraded from now) I’m grateful for Rapala that passionately entered this market segment with the best lures for our South African Yellowfish anglers with lures for all types of water available. These caliber Largemouth Yellowfish need to be fished in a well managed and save haven where they are protected, ensuring that we have a legacy to offer to our younger future anglers and the best fishable water on offer to our guest anglers today. Slypsteen Safari’s will only allow Artlure and Fly fishermen. No trebles will be allowed on lures, only hight quality single inline hooks allowed, except on catfish poppers. All fishing will be guided and managed by Bo Karoo Fishing. Fishing equipment needs to be in excellent condition. Want to Fish the Orange River ?
