This is Africa!!!!

Now where I come from, this is what we call a man's man! A real kind of a guy. I mean, damn check out his catch! And how he got it home! Alone!
Methinks the biggest achievement is getting to go fishing, catching this thing, getting it onto his NOT STOLEN bike, and getting home without being run over by a taxi!
Now thats what I call a man's man!!!!

Salmon slapped on saddle

A MONSTER salmon strapped onto a scrambler motorbike, with the rider perched on top. That was the sight that met commuters in the rush hour traffic on the way to work on Wednesday morning. Local fisherman Bernard Goslett reeled in the 27kg salmon off Kleiklipklofie Beach after a long struggle with the massive fish, using a light tackle rod (8kg line) and sardine fillets. ‘I played the fish for so long, I could see him well out at sea, but finally I got him onto the beach,’ said Goslett. Then came the second problem – getting the huge salmon home, as Goslett only had his scrambler bike as a means of transport. A true Richards Bay fisherman, Goslett was not to be deterred and with the help of the security guard, they piled the fish onto his motorbike. ‘We strapped the fish down and then I jumped on top and rode home,’ said a jubilant Goslett, who added, ‘I did notice quite a few strange looks on the way.’
