Lower Seletar Reservoir - 3 April 2005

[Admin]

Ah Yeow is using the COHO Black Hole #0 wt as a spinning rod.
Very innovative idea because the fish are biting quite far away from the banks.



I got a hook up. The run was powerful, and the weight was heavy at the end of the line.


It is not easy fighting this monster and taking photographs.
But it was fun to try.
Hope FCUK don’t get seasick this time.


Got aerial displace somemore.


Finally I managed to bring it to the banks of the reservoir.


A zebra tilapia.


Can anyone guess the weight?


Close up of the fish with the fly.


A closer look at the orange Charlie.


My attempts to take some self portraits failed miserably.


Managed to request a lady to take some shots for me. This is the test shot by her. Nice scenery hor?


Finally, a photograph to remember the fight I had with this monster.

I agartimate the weight to be about 900 grammes.

But a guy with a lot of tarpoa experiences say more than 1 kg.
He asked me to give him the fish because he wanted to “keep” it in his aquarium.
But I had earlier seen him cutting up a 5 kg toman he had caught with a live catfish.
He was distributing it with the fellow bait fishermen there.
Last week, he refuse to let me take photos of his catch.

mtshark, look at the photopraphs.
Shiok hor?
It is caught with a COHO #0 wt.
I tell hor.
Very very shiok.

Hi Billy... That's a nice size zebra on your 0. I certainly hope you didn't give that guy the tilapia. They're much better off in the reservoir than in a small aquarium or even worse in someone's stomach. Other than that i think it must have been fun tackling the zebra on your zero. ;D

[Admin]

Thank you Anakin.

It was really fun and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Taking pictures and fighting the fish
make me look like a kadang-kabok king leh. ;D
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

thats one large tilapia billy... hardly see them grow to that size... those i've caught before fight differently from a peacock bass.. the tilapia seem to jerk the rod tip more compared to the peacocks.. the fight must have been fantastic on the harvest...

just wondering how far you casted to get that guy.. a charlie on that rod dosen't strike me as being very fun to cast

Thanks Matthew.
It tried for freedom 3 times,
when I had it near the banks.
Only tired out on my forth attempt to bring it in.

Casted about 15 to 20 feet.
A small size 12-16 charlie is just fine.
Ah Yeow can cast with a size 2 charlie.

[Admin]

Thanks Ed for the encouragement.
I'll be waiting to fish with you.

Thanks FC, I think the weather in UK's getting better lah.
Sky so blue.

[FCUK]

It is getting better - but my fishing 's still blue lor
The blue you see is not from the blue sky - but my blue mood la

See.....

.....kena hook-up only - turn to grey only
