Big Haruans.... one after another were caught effortlessly............... Yeah!!
Hoe even caught himself a 6kg Toman............Look at the fella grinning with a smirk on his face...........
What a fearsome predatory fish this is....
Care to put your hand in here???
Smirking again................
Takeshi and Kazu also did well.............
To fish this rare beauty, first you must enter their domain - specifically low land swamp and river......
To enter, you must be equipped with a good 4x4 vehicle........
Look what happens if you don't..........
STUCK!!! Luckily, this time one of the vehicles was equipped with a winch.......
After over coming a few obstacles, we finally reached our destination........
A beautiful swampy river site.............
Every year after Chinese New Year period, the weather of Peninsular Malaysia is getting drier and by this time only, you are able to enter the swampy area of this place for fishing......... Look at the dried up area below......... From this picture, you can imagine that the water level was 2M high during wet season............
To tackle this Emperor Snakehead, you have to wait until the water level is low whereby the fish are concentrated in the remaining deep pool of the swamp.......
Beautiful black water......
It is even inhabited with beautiful aquatic Tiger Barb which is commonly sold in aquarium shops.....
After a day of fishing, out of twelve anglers, only one fella was rewarded with a catch, it turned out to be a young Toman only......... What a poor result it was. We know the fish is there BUT why can't we get it?????.......AAAAARGH!!!
We'll be back for revenge another day.........
But untill now, nothing beats this....... A trip back from Royal Belum fishing by two friends - Masabou and Alex had the rare occasion of spotting a wild Tiger swimming across the lake of Temenggor, and these are his precious photos caught during the trip. I can't believe it, there are only about 200 Tigers left in our Jungles and this guy gets to see one......What a 'lucky' guy! !
