Was de-salting my gear at a freshwater ground, a popper to be more specific when suddenly BAMMZ! I did not even work the popper, just constant cranking it in. I saw the fish so did my cap cap but too bad during one of its headshakes it managed to shook off the trebles. Toman suspect 2kg plus.
Later I changed to fly and got a baby temensis around 9inch which I kept as pet fishes food.
As i was near giving up, I decided to give an old lure a try. This lure is si bey old, got it during my secondary school days and never got me any catch yet. I casted it a few times working it differently each time, a small fish suspect 1 feet toman did follow it but never took it. Then I decided to crank it fast and shallow when suddenly BAMMZ! Haha the BAMMZ was shiok but still can't compare to a kim's. I saw it flipped displaying vibrant orange fins, haha a temensis for sure and it's a biggie. It fought hard but not as hard as I thought a temensis this size would. Suspect it's a brooding pair as brooders are weak fighters. It wasn't easy to lip grip this fellow as fight was shorter and weaker than expected so I assume he still had plenty of energy left when I pulled him in.
This is my 2nd 'trophy' from a Designated Fishing Ground. DFG's biggies are always a bit more extra shiok 
Released.
Singapore is only this small, our fishing grounds are even smaller. Protect, not da-pao.
Sometimes I da-pao to feed my pet fishes.
