If you’ve found yourself here reading this, than chances are likely that you’ve watched an episode or two of river monsters at some point in your life — I’m no different myself. However, while I have the upmost respect for Jeremy Wade, that’s not what led me here. What kickstarted this entire journey was actually a chance encounter with an Instagram post made by David Graham of Boundless Pursuit. He put a picture on his story of a picture of a goliath tigerfish with a few words . Something to the effect of announcing the early stages trip planning, and an invitation to join should anyone be serious about going. Did I reach out? Of Course! Did I ever think I’d actually go? Never. It’s not that I was trying to waste his time or anything, no far from that actually. It was just something entirely out of my wheelhouse. I had never been on a trip like this. Africa? For Fishing? I had never even left the continent! I initially only reached out just out of curiosity, I wanted to know the details. Price

I could tell at the time he was still a little doubtful about my verbal commitment, but I don’t blame him.
