Awesome report Sami. Nice species and some good size GT's. Rods are going to do well when they come out. Keep up the great work.

Beautiful pictures and beautiful fish, congratulations Sami, I have fished in Kilwa without having the same success. ;)
If I may say so, analysis of this photo  :)
Beautiful dive of the fisherman with red shorts by against the blue shorts can do better, the postion of the feet should be reviewed.
Ah! Ah! as we say in France '   :)
Best regards Sami

I agree with you 100% on the red short guy Gege :)
I fished Kilwa twice in the past but nothing to be compared to Latham, the place is magical  :)
