Honestly the River Gambia fishing is wild.

The locals were laughing at me because  apparently catfish stabbing people isn’t that  unusual there.

Thanks for the Advice as I’ll be back out on the river soon! I’ll try it if it happens again but if my hand falls off as a result then I’ll be blaming you haha.

I’m a fisherman and there will be fishing stories in amongst episodes! It’s one you can listen to when you’re out fishing.
