haha nice catch....but what do you do with so many?

by the way.....didn't know there was mekong in the pond.....and i broke my rod....

unrelated story but sound better then breaking my rod by hitting the "bumbung"lol

looking for a 6'6 preferably 6-12lb rod.....does anyone know of any? storm rods seem to be 6'only.

to the bangladeshi? we sold one haha

no la...not mekong.....half asleep struck rod....hit roof....rest is history. lol

That sounds expensive lol. anything under 350?

Oh i have one.....pretty good rod. just the guides and reel seat abit....plasticky.
But its a nice rod man....fun

6'0 only. guess 6' might have to do...

nice fish mate!!

me and boats dont mix bro..... haha

Badly!

Any of the Trevally family not nice to eat, unless you sashimi terus....but still.....its so so only.

Haha first time hearing some one say GT is not bad eating.

Not putting anyone off. Just think there's better and more sustainable fish out there to be consumed.

500g is rather small to be consuming is it not?

Oh ya forgot, Malaysia no bag and size limit. Each to their own I suppose.

1m toman x 50 = 50 meters.....

That's good.....but u should start practicing casting with a lure. Using a sinker with it's shape means there's less wind resistance / drag thus making it easier to cast. Once you factor in wind etc then things get "interesting". Ppl get too hard up on distance with a baitcaster when really the point is really to get accuracy. I've seen pro's hit a milo can 30 yards out 8/9 times out of 10. Best i've done is 4. Lol. Keep it up though......practice makes perfect.

Where do you live? Carpark so empty...... When I go to my local Tesco man takes me ages to find a carpark....sigh.

Casting distance don't just rely on reel alone. Rod plays an important part as well. Too stiff and you will lose distance. Essentially you will need to "load" up your rod to get better distance as well. Shorter rods tends to have shorter casts. Lots of things to factor in.

Worst comes to worse if you just want distance......heavier sinker lo....

Yep thats a setup.
Whats the poundage on ur mono? Mono is so thick you'd be lucky to cast far dude. With the wind kicking up and due to the thickness of mono and causing drag, that makes things worse.

Btw a 6ft rod is short. Try a 7 foooter or more and you'll start to see the difference. Also whats ur poundage on ur rod?

These guys are just jealous of your skillz. Pfft.
You should take a video and show these noobs how it's done and shut them up.....

Did you google the scientific names to sound smart or? Odd as no one really use the scientific names of fish generally.

sabiki rigs are the best option to use if u want to catch ur so called atule mate aka yellowtail scad aka kembong (the name we uneducated fisherfolk generally use) give it a go, add some prawns on the individual hooks. might surprise urself.

Anyone interested?
