Tiger-Striped Surubim: Argentina’s Catfish So Striking It Deserves Its Own Shirt
As we prepare for our upcoming adventure to Argentina’s Corrientes region, the hard-fighting golden dorado is naturally at the top of our wish list. But this is a true multispecies fishery, and one other target refuses to stay in the background — the tiger-striped surubim catfish.
It’s not just their size, power, and willingness to crush lures that make surubim memorable. Their bold, zebra-like pattern sets them apart as one of the most distinctive freshwater fish in South America — maybe even the world. That unique look doesn’t just make them exciting to catch, it makes them downright “shirt-worthy.”
If you’re considering joining us in Argentina next fall, and want to channel your inner surubim before the trip, here are a few eye-catching shirt options inspired by this remarkable catfish.
Wearing a surubim shirt is a fun way to stand out, but I imagine that it will only enhance the thrill of hooking one in its native waters. Next fall, we’ll be chasing golden dorado in Argentina’s Corrientes region — with plenty of chances to battle tiger-striped surubim and other incredible species along the way.
If you’ve ever dreamed of adding these exotic fish to your angling résumé (and maybe earning the right to wear one proudly on your shirt), we’d love for you to join us. Shoot us an email and let’s start planning.
