You betcha. The US has great fighting fish. The one thing in the US that is better than anywhere else in the world: fresh water fly fishing. All the different salmon, trout, bass etc. Africa has no salmon (what we call salmon is actually Daga Snapper and never go into fresh water, not even to spawn) and no idigenous trout (only a hand full of damns and srtictly controlled streams have some Rainbow and Browns).
Fly fishing is way too expensive there, so few people pursue it and of course that means fewer knowledgeable people on the subject. I only really started to get into flyfishing in the US.
As for freshwater sport fish - walleye, muskie, striper etc ... these fish which do not exist in Africa make the US a prime oyster with a perfect anglers pearl!
I also dare not forget to mention how float tubing is also for wealthy people in Africa - that alone is enough to convince me the US is an anglers paradise.
