Out Smart The Fish - Another MAMA Toman !! -BKKGUY

[bkkguy]

Toman is consider one of the most cunning and smartest fish in asia.

Thus making it one of the source after Prized Fish for most Asian Anglers.

I always tell many of my coming toman anglers that :

" They make hookup the toman (Giant Snakehead ) during a wild fishing trip but they may not be able to land the fish".

You may ask why????

Below the reasons :
Toman by nature instinct will dive for the nearest weeds and underwater structures when hooked.

You need to be ultra fast speed to strike hard N reel in the line.

Set your reel's drag high to prevent the toman for making the initial dive under for under structures.

MAMA toman

Going after the MAMA fry toman, it not easy as some anglers may think.

For those MAMA that have been hooked up before N released back again, usually this group of MAMA toman are very wary whatever lures that thrown at them.

Sometimes, they'll abandon their baby and watch over their toman fry from afar.

For this kind of scenario, don't cast at the fry anymore but cast direct at the MAMA instead when she came up to breath or splash water to attract her fry toman to come to her.

What lures to use ??? How far the distant to cast your lure ??? What speed to crank ??? When to change lure ???.

That's come down to individual fishing knowledge N skills.

There are much more to learn before ones will be successful in Giant Snakehead fishing.

Although I've fished toman more than any normal anglers due to my love for toman fishing.

I'm constantly acquire new skills N new knowledge's myself whenever I fish in the wild.

There is no easy way to learn how to fish this prized fish of asia then to go out there and fish your heart out...;)

well done bro they are mean looking fish

I want to catch some snakeheads! I'm trying to catch 200 species of fish, and we have toman, northern snakehead, and bullseye snakehead in various parts of the southeastern US... I need some Channa species!

I have a good friend from my days as a university student in the late 1990's who lives in Washington and has caught several northern snakeheads while fishing for largemouth (black) bass and catfish. He says there's nothing in American freshwater anywhere near as aggressive as a hungry or pissed-off northern snakehead!

Good !!! Giant snakehead aka toman by far the most aggressive N strongest freshwater fighting fish...


Once you hooked up one, you will never want to fish others... ;)
