Alright.... Long story cut short....
Arranged for a catchup with Eugene few days back. He came to pick me up at 6pm and off we proceed to Fishing Paradise!
Rented the tackle, bought the baits and my line hit the water at 7pm.
Registered couple of bites but I landed my first fishy only at ard 8.15pm. Eugene went off to help me get my Mac Spicy while I casted out my Koi ard 1 metre out.
Was relaxing on the chair looking up into the sky when my rod started bending! Quickly grabbed the rod and gave a firm strike! Fish On!!!
The fishy was strong despite it size! My drag was locked to 90% but it still managed to make several runs. I got no choice but to keep pumping trying to gain the lines back as the line on the house reel was limited.
Took me ard 5 mins before it finally surfaced!
And yes a Redtail Catfish!!!!
It weighed 4.2kg on the scale and I was the first to land a fish for the Mini Competition held that night!
Anyway I landed another Catfish at ard 9.30pm. But sad to say, it did not come with a redtail.
Walking Catfish
We stayed till 12am for the lucky draw before we called it a day.
And guessed what? I won 3 fishing hours!!!
Definitely a great day for me!
