It been ages ever since i went to pond fishing. Finally on 16/4 (Wed) i am finally free.
Do some research and with the past experiences i am determined to break my record of max 4 fishes at tmj.

I set a target of at least 5 fishes before i set off from home.
Reach tmj at 1010am and started to setup. Got 100 gm of live prawns and make my first cast at 1025am.

Well there is abt another 5-6 rods. One guy who came earlier den me got his first strike after i make my first cast. I looked at my float and it is still there and i started to wonder whether it going to be another day where i go hm with 1-2 fishes or even worst a big fat ZERO!

Nonetheless, it still early and i told myself to think positive. After ard 20 mins of waiting, my float finally suddenly went down into the water! With excitement and high hopes, i slowly reel in my line and den give a hard strike! FISH ON.

The kbl make a few somersault in the air before i land it. My first fish!
With one fish in my red net, my confidence level raised. Hook another live prawn and off it went diving into the pond.
And my high hopes start going down as the seconds tick by.1 hour pass by and still no fish landed.

At 1230pm, i began to reel in my line to check my baits when halfway thru i feel a small tug. I reel in slower and i feel another tug. This time more stronger. Without delaying longer, i gave a hard strike. Well No 2. went into my red net.

Rebait and continue with my waiting game. This time it really a long wait. From 12.30pm all the way to 1530pm no fish landed.3 hours passed by and my stamina is dropping. Somemore it is super hot.

Decided to rest underneath a shelter, place my rod leaning on a chair beside my shelter. Was relaxing and in my own world when my rod suddenly moved. I took a quick glance on my line and it is going out fast.

I immediately sprang into action. Grab the rod. Reel in the excess line. Give a strike. And YES! Fish ON!.
One min of fight and i manage to land my No. 3! Well hopes raising. 2 more and i can break my record and i got 2 more hours more.

Rebait, Casted and started to wait again. 1 hour passed by and at 1630pm, i notice my float moving awkardly. Though it nv sink but i knew there is fish.

Slowly reel in my line and wack! Fish on. No.4 in my red net.Yeah. Though still havent got my fifth one but at least still got 4. And yes i got one more hour.

Rebait and casted and soon very fast it 1730pm. Times up!
Well no choice. Started to pack up. Took a picture of my catches.


But hey i still havent gave up. My rod is still leaning on the chair with the bait in the pond. Waiting for a mircale.
And mircale really happen when u dun give up.

Jus few seconds i took the picture of my 4 fishes. I saw my float sinking. I immediately rush to my rod, gave a strike and yes fish on!

It a longer fight and a fierce fight. And when i landed it abt in one min, i then know the reason. It bigger then my previous four.
And yes i achieve my target. Broke my record!
And this is the picture of the total catches.


And finally pack up and go hm.
Took another picture when i got home.
