Peacock Bassing

Early morning heavy traffic jam at the North South Highway during the Hari Raya season......
We lost a precious 40 min due to the earlier jam on the highway...... Found that the water level of Kinta River was at its peak, it must have rained for quite some time.
Reaching the pond in the late morning session....... After we had launched the boat, first is to locate the bait fish...... then comes the Peacock Bass.The first Peacock Bass (PB) for our guest Mr. Fujino - a first timer of PB fishing.....

The size of the fish on that day was not big, but the quantity was a plenty and it really fought impressively to our guest........
And dinner at Tg. Tualang village for the famous Freshwater Prawns......... Totally sumptious according to our Japanese guest...... Yummy!
Second day, we moved out a little early to ensure a better catch.........
Air Kuning have many connecting ponds through a narrow water way........
Local fisherman with their catch ( Featherback Fish )....... Had simple lunch on board to save time.....
My catches......
A good size PB finally for our guest, approximately 45cm long....... Happy Fishing!
