    well, yes, I remember getting one hell of a startle the first time one of these swam into me so hard that I almost fell over

    Always take lots of spare undies to the Vaal for just this reason.

    a Barbel will SUCK you to death!! ... unlike those shoals of Raggies in the rivers/estuaries at Kenton!!! ... not to mention the Zambesis further North!!!

    Raggies are pretty docile and will leave you alone unless you bother them. Only recorded death attributable to a raggie was a bloke off Nahoon reef a good few years back AFAIK.

    Yer Zambis and tigers OTOH....
