Craziest Fisherman shock JW
the first thing any fisherman does when
he goes to a new place is to go and
check out the river but nowhere else in
the world would you expect to be greeted
by a sight anything at all like
this this massive river is second only
in flow and area to the Amazon draining
a huge sthe of Africa half the size of
the
US that's the Congo
[Music]
River to reach this point it has run
nearly 3,000 mil crossed the equator
twice and narrowed from 10 Mi at its
widest to around a mile here where it
splits the two War ravaged capital
cities of kinasa and
brazaville from here it plummets nearly
1,000 ft in a series of Rapids to the
Atlantic Ocean almost 300 M
away and wherever there is a river there
are humans hardwired to seek out its
fish
[Music]
it's hard to believe but many species of
fish can survive fast flowing Rapids
like
these wer is one of only a handful of
fishermen who choose to fish these
Waters I'm me seeing what the the local
guys use here I am slightly embarrassed
using such you know gear which is sort
of very expensive in
comparison but I actually think you know
this will stand a chance of getting out
large fish from here which the the
bamboo and lighter line doesn't do
perhaps the creature I'm pursuing is a
voracious
Predator so there's the hook that not
only attacks the small fish these
fishermen are
after but will also take a chunk out of
a crocodile
it's the Goliath tiger fish not just one
of the top predators here but among the
most ferocious freshwater predators in
all the world's
Rivers goliath tiger fish are said to
grow 6 ft long and weigh in excess of
100 lb they have Jaws packed with razor
sharp interlocking
teeth and with their stream line body
and huge tail they are capable of
incredible bursts of speed when striking
prey their ferity when hunting is
legendary the fisherman tell me there's
someone I should meet who has a unique
way of fishing these
Waters this is Philip
tenter he fishes these Rapids with a
net that is the scale of a of a tiger
fish which he caught the day before
yesterday come be a kilo kilo kilo is
see
70 here that's that's a big old tiger
fish teeth on it probably like that you
know so um you know just a thought of
that kind of fish in this kind of water
don't get much more extreme than
that he's about to check his
Nets so you've got
cable where it's going over the rocks
and here we go it's the net coming
in as would be expected fishing with
Nets in such turbulent water is not
without its
problems the Net's actually it's
stuck I have no idea what he plans to do
about
it but I wasn't expecting that
[Music]
[Music]
jumping into these Waters is nothing
short of suicidal but I realize now that
this is something he must do on a daily
basis if people call me an extreme
fisherman what does that make
him I I know he knows what he's doing
but to me it just looks the most
insanely dangerous way to make a living
swimming in this sort of super sized
washing machine type
water with a net which is you know
designed to catch
things all this effort and there's
actually nothing in this net
so we're just going to redeploy a fresh
[Music]
net and it is just uh just mindboggling
you know you just wouldn't get me doing
that that kind of fishing seems very
Reckless to me but this is a where
people are forced to go to extreme
lengths simply to
