I was there on holiday,we actually had one jump into the inflatable while hooked. They do like spinnerbaits heaps but they only last one fish and are utterly destroyed.

Wild looken fish those Tigers and the Chessa..... Looks like the Tigers got a hinged top jaw..... Are the Bass natives or imports to S A ? The bass looks like the same as the Yanks have.

The same species , I am not sure if they are imports or not can always remember them being there from when I started tossing lures. The tigers whole jaw is solid bone getting a hook to stick in them is a tough ask and I dont think there is a fish on earth that hits a lure as fast and as hard as them . We had to service our drags daily, lost one pinion gear and had 40lb braid broken in the hit before I could think about striking.
