Peacock Bass boom

It's been 6 years since my first catch of Peacock Bass in Air Kuning, but I am still lured back here every so often because the Peacock Bassing game is booming yet.......The Peacock Bass originated from South America has become a successful native fish now in the Kinta river system when the rearing pond's embankment collapsed due to heavy flood many years ago.........
The aggressiveness of the Peacock Bass has become the main attraction for the lure fishing game over the years........ You can catch them during dry and wet season.........365days all year round........
Both boat fishing and land based casting also produces promising results. Top water lures and under water minnows works well too..........
Poor fish, it is still alive when we found it......... Looks like it was attacked by a Toman.....
Black & white beer mixing will help alleviate tiredness......... But, snack is Sampal Petai.....YIKES!
What a way to end the night.........
Next morning was not in our favour, 'coz it started rain in the whole morning........Luckily I still managed to catch some fish...........After getting back to KL in the afternoon........ I took a fish to a Japanese restaurant in Puchong called YOIICHI and asked the chef to make me a Peack Bass SHASHIMI & SUSHI........(Heard from a friend has tried before) And it was delicious....the flesh of the fish is fine and crisp...... Awesome!
