On 10 September 2025, Yianni Pantazis etched his name into Mutemwa history with a 20lb (9.1kg) Tigerfish – not only the season leader, but also a new all-time lodge record!

What makes this catch even more remarkable is the timing. On the very last day of his trip, while making the journey back from the Ngonye Falls, Yianni landed this historic 20lb giant just upriver from the lodge.

This unforgettable moment crowned Yianni’s safari with the ultimate finale: a record-breaking trophy that will be spoken of at Mutemwa for years to come.
