60KG Arapaima By China Angler (Dream Fish)-BKKGUY

1

Hi Guys,

Just 2 days ago, I received an overseas call from a China angler.
He was here in Thailand for business trip and thus decided to bring along his rods and tackles to checkout the fishing scene in Thailand. Back in China, the fish most of the small carp fishes using long pole.

According to him, there are more & more young anglers taking up luring as fishing sport. Due to the limited lurig scenes back in mainland China, most of them are looking to fish overseas.

With a big catch of his dream fish (60KG arapaima) yesterday, he will be posting his CR in chinese fishing forum and hopefully this will get more China lurers & anglers coming to Thailand to fish. :wink:

According to him (Wong ), it all started with this HK fishing mag that was been published some months back. The fishing mag which featured my face & the 60KG arapaima in the front cover HK fishing mag.I was then helping a senior Macau moderator of a popular Macau fishing forum to land his dream fish arapaima on thai giron lure. :slight_smile:

That chinese CR thread contributed by him hitted the top chart in China fishing forum for months. Wah say !!! :wink:

Yesterday was his big day. We fish IT Monsters from 6.00am to 3.30pm then he called it a day. This China angler objective is very simple. Get him the arapaima (which he said will give him good luck for his business) and he will just go back early.

In the wee morning, we managed to land 4-5 fishes on lure.

A nice size toman was hooked by me using my Daiwa Zillion 7.3

While Wong’s Daiwa Steez 103 helped him to land a very fat aligator gar and redtail catfish on lure.

Forget to bring my Yamoto lure to IT Monsters yesterday, have to settle with my giron instead.

Hi John,

My sister fishes at BSR whenever her son comes back from UK. Mother & son are quite regular at BSR. Below are some old pictures when my son Denis
poisoned her to go fishing at BSR:

I am making her special THOMAS STROKER 7 FOOTER to fish with you.

6 ft rod will be just nice for BSR if you ask me.
Over here , we sometime even use 5ft-6ft rod.
Don’t worry, we can easily cast far out the bait ball even with shorter rod.

Will try to take more photo shots of your rod actions to show here. :slight_smile:

I know John, for you and I, 6 footer is more than enough. She has the 8 and 9 footer, and the new 7 footer is the rod of her choice. The next rod I will recommend the 6 footer.
Yes I hope you can take many pictures of her
rod action too.

Btw, when is your next trip? Around BKK, SITUATION IS NORMAL.

" Around BKK, SITUATION IS NORMAL " - I did not know that, but on one of my previous visits more than a year ago, there was some problem in the airport, and I nearly got stuck in Bangkok.

Hoping that all parties get what they want - am now looking at about 2 weeks time for things to be normal.

For this time, BSR, Boon Ma, and IT Monster Lake - again like the last time, 3 days and 2 nights hopefully.[:)]

Wow! 3 days 2 night, is quite a rush, that means the first day you arrive, you go fishing and the last day of fishing you rush to the airport to catch your flight. Check your mail.

Bro BKK guy…that dish you had for dinner…the one with the salted eggs…boleh kasi recipe ka?

About the arapaima..saw on Natgeo Monster fish marathon that it can be very dangerous if cornered. The head is solid bone n can cause serious chest injuries. The tongue has a hard bone inside to crush its prey against the roof of its mouth…so how does the hook hook the fish?
