Dear Editor This is such a nice photo typical of early morning fishing for tigerfish at Olive Beadle on the Zambezi up-stream of Kariba. My 12 year old grandson Riley Mirtle caught it and released it just after the photo was taken. The fish weighed 4.58kg. This took place the morning before the Junior T.F.Z. Needless to say that although he and his cousin Jordan Smith won the event they never caught a fish near that size during the actual competition. Although one can’t see features I still like the photo and thought you might too.
