For the past 2 days, I've brought a SG angler to fish 2 days of round fishing trip around bkk. For the DAY 1, we went to BSR to target the big willy (40kg mekong & above). This is not the first time he fish at BSR. Just 6yrs ago, he came with the french guide(Jean-Francois) to fish. He managed to land a 40KG mekong that time. Now 6yrs later, he broke the past record and landed a 55KG mekong with me. I teased him that maybe it the 'same fish' that has since grown bigger.

With the joy still in the air, we continued our fishing journey at IT Monsters lake in DAY 2. I taught him the tactic of luring , he managed to land himself 2 X asia redtail catfish on his own.Well done !!

As for myself, 3 heavy weight redtails catfish + 2 aligators (1 fat fella)and several misses & take on my Giron lure.

Maybe yesterday nobody is fishing and it quiet, we have such a successful bite rate on lures.

He was so lucky to land the very rare tambaqui pacu, originated from amazon river. There are currently 30 such fishes among the thousands of predators fishes in IT Monsters. It even harder to catch than arapaima due to the small number. I think lucky star do come knocking twices on his door.

Music vid clip for those eager to see the whole photo album.

Without delay, allow me to feature some of the highlight photo shots of our 2 days fishng trip.

The tambaqui is the largest characin of South America. The tambaqui is found in the Amazon and Orinoco basins in its wild form. However, its pisciculture form largely distributed in South America.
