50KG Chao Phraya Catfish & 38KG Arapaima - BKKGUY

On thursday morning , I brought my whole family to Greenvalley fishing resort for a holiday vacation.

It was a wonderful trip, I landed a 50KG Chao Phraya Catfish and a 38kg Arapaima. Before that in the early morning, I missed landing a 80kG arapaima. The giant arapaima fought for a good 10mins before it went under the metal gate and the line just snapped. What a waste !!!

Back in my mind, I was trying to aim for their biggest residence fish- a 150KG & 180KG arapaima. Till today , hold the record for the ‘biggest arapaima’ in term of weight in Thailand.

Caught a dozen of their redtails, 5-6 of their monsters aligator gar and a few black pacu fishes.

Must give thanks to the owner of the fishing resort, who has given me & my family a V.I.P treatment while we were there.Will be back for more actions in the future… :wink:

Here the vid clip I done up for the trip.</font id=“blue”>

50KG Chao Phraya Catfish- Landed by Father(BKKGUY)& Son(Michael)
It was a tough fight as we fought the CPC fish for like 30mins ++.

The joys of letting my Michael experience the monster fishing and sharing the wonderful family time together, enough to make my day. :slight_smile:


What the best day for me is to guide my very own son to fight the big fish. :slight_smile:

Btw, he just got hold of his ‘thai citizen’ ID card a few days back.
Hopefully he will be interested to follow my footsteps one day.
