26 March 2013 (Snakeheads Papar Hunt)

On a cloudy Tuesday morning, I went to friend's place in Papar to assist him in getting rid of his snakeheads problem in his tilapia pond but at the same time it is my opportunity to add to my collection. I started at around 9 am in the morning after the surveying the place for a while. Here are some of the pics that i have captured during my good moments that morning

 my first catch (a 36 cm snakehead using my new magnum froggie with Abu Garcia Blue Max and stren 20lb line)

 Took me a while to remove the lure since the snakehead swallowed the whole thing in his mouth 

It was wonderful morning catch using my magnum froggie. Wished i brought my other lures from Labuan.

I have given all my catches to my friend's mom since she likes to eat it but the pleasure to catch this ferocious predator of the freshwater fishes was a pleasure. Will update you again when i try to solve my uncle's pond problem of snakeheads.

Snakehead Hunting begins -2013

The fascination on fishing freshwater fishes came in 2012 when i transferred from my previous workplace in Sabah to the island of Labuan or in England they would called this place Victoria Island. Beforehand, i was more fishing on salt water fishes back when i started fishing in 2008 but the freshwater experience really changed me and I want to share my experiences in learning and understanding these types of freshwater fishes and the one i'm more focus on now is the top predator of the fresh water fishes, the striped snakehead (Channa striata). Here are my some of my personal collections from this year - up to today I have caught and photographed 28 of my catches.

So from this count of 28 catches, I'll be continuing my collection of this unique fish this year and I'm targeting to catch 100 of striped snakeheads in different sizes and weight to be documented and shared to all who are reading my blog.

Let the fishing begin and good luck to me....Thank you GOD for giving me this opportunity to do something more worthwhile than things that are bad and are of no use to me.
