Colossoma revenge

We think that it is the same fish.It escape from my line few minutes before that because I didn't release my reel.I was too panic because of the drag and the screaming it cause to my reel that i fully lock it.

Fishing advices from the 'old timer'.

We were keep asking around about the fish called 'Siong' by the locals.The chinese call 'si hong',some call it song hu.But what we are sure,it's a kind of 'carp' fish.Their diet is mostly on water grass and algae.But in the wild,we never know.
Nobody really sure what bait can you use to lure this fish.But this 'old timer' from a fishing shop told us,you cannot catch this fish by fishing!It won't take any bait.The only way you can get it is by shooting gun that people use to shoot wild boar!Even fishing net will break,he experienced it once.
But,we didn't give up.So,what we did,we made a grass juice,with blender.And mix it with flour and fish pellet.Well,the theory is,this fish eat grass.So the smell of the clorophil from the grass will attrack it.So,officially,we created a new kind of bait,after our first creation 'The Banana'.Now the 'Grass Mix'.The only different is,'The Banana' caught a lot of fish,and this 'Grass Mix'.....none so far.Ermmmm.....

This picture got nothing to do with the topic.Its taken in Sabah by a friend.

The canterpillar that the locals believed it can turn into catfish.

A kind of catfish,'Baung'.

Mekong catfish,here we call it 'Patin'.

Classic!

Colossoma.Locally called 'Pacu' or 'Picu'.Some just call it Piranha,the cousin.

The teeth.

Fishing...rain or shine

Rain or shine..we still go fishing.
Our normal route to the fishing spot was flooded..the rain was so heavy since the night before.
So,we had to find another way,which is slightly longer..but its ok,as long as we get there.And the time is very limited,just 2 hours left before the land owner close the area.
We came for revenge,for the giant colossoma that took our fishing hooks days before.
One of my rod get dragged into the water today.Luckily we manage to get it back by 'fishing' it,the same way we did to another rod that went 'missing' about a week before.

First catch of the day.Medium size catfish.

The special catfish.They called it OKU or the disabled.We named it 'Kedungkol'.

Finally,this rebel got landed!

Theres already other people's hook that he beat in its mouth!

The brother,which is a little bit smaller.We caught 3 of them today.

Some of the cacth for the day,including our regular sparring partners,the giant catfish.


Finally,we win today.Satisfaction level is unexplanable.But we believe there something bigger down there..that will keep us come back.:)
