Another satisfied day at Fishing Paradise!
My usual spot was taken up therefore we proceed to try another spot near to the MRT track.

Within 15 mins, I got a take which sent my rod bending and my reel screaming away. However before I could set the hook, the fish managed to get away.

Everything went pretty quiet for me after that. Anglers ard me managed to land a couple of fishes but still the bite rates wasn't that fantastic.

Newspaper is more interesting than fishing for her...


2 hours flew by and still I was a zerofighter. I got another take during this 2 hours but again lost it before I even had the chance to reach my rod.

By 6.30pm, we decided to have our dinner. Since the fishes do not want to eat, we eat!


After our dinner, we were still registering a zero.

Already sort of gave up when my rod gave a ugly bend at ard 7.20pm! Line was peeling out like nobody biz. Grabbed my rod and gave a firm strike! Fish ON!!!

The first run was short but strong. There was nothing I could do but hold onto my rod as my reel was screaming away. Then suddenly my line went slack....

Oh no... dun tell me I lost it.....!?!? Quickly reel back my line when it decided to went for a 2nd run. Only 2 words to describe the 2nd run. Fast and Furious!!!

My reel just kept screaming at the top of it voice while all I could do was to hold tightly onto my rod. I tried pumping my rod for a couple of times but it was way too strong....

It went dashing towards the left to the.............................SWANS!!! And then it was stuck. Tried to pump but it was stuck to something.

Proceed quickly towards the swans while trying to retrieve my line. The bugger had dashed under 2 mini boats and hide under some swans...

Took sometime to get my line free from the obstacles before I reached the swans. Slowly and steadily, I started pumping it out...

Yeah! Fishy still there....Took me another 2-3 mins before I managed to pump it out from the swans.

And guess what? A sweet surprise for me as the fishy surfaced....

It was a 10kg Chao Praya!


It was foul hooked onto it tail. No wonder, the runs was soooooo Fierce! It took me ard 15 mins to land this fish.

Some pictures of my trophy for the day!
