Reckless aerial jumpers

Fri 27 Aug 10 14:41

Great footage but too bad not kims

Giant herring are fun, they are pretty relentless and attacked hard for their size and one of the best hooks thrower as they jump like crazy.

Still no elusive trophies but some consolation as 2 of my minnows got their 1st catch.

Singapore is only this small, our fishing grounds are even smaller. Protect, not da-pao.
Sometimes I da-pao to feed my pet fishes.

Herring video

Fri 6 Aug 10 22:57

Caught on my cap cam but too bad not a kim.

A few got away but not this one :>> Not released

I was hoping to spot kim surface attacks but sadly didn't hear/see any big splash nor feeding frenzy. Miss their boofs, too bad my pet kims are still too small to boof loud.

My 1st kayak kim!

Fri 4 Jun 10 19:30

Finally I got my 1st kayak kim, length 65cm, suspect 3.5kg.

Out of the blue BOMZ! Took my popper and there she goes! I didn't see what fish it was but boy, surface strikes are always thrilling. Then it came up and I saw the head. Does that look like a kim or what? I wasn't sure, then it leaped, mouth flaring head shaking violently trying to throw my lure. A kim no doubt, HO SEY LAR!!!

I have not even land it but I was very happey already :>>

Then suddenly the line went totally slack. Oh shit the line snapped?
No it didn't. While fighting the fish, for some reason I lossen the drag all the way!! I quickly tighten it back, pretty sure the fish must had escaped. No it didn't, I crank back the slack and felt it, it was still on!! Lucky ahhh! The hookup must had been good, if not it probably had escaped.

It's headshake was very strong, it shook free once from the lip gripper and another time trying to break my wrist.

My 1st Kayak Catch

Wed 31 Mar 10 19:38

:>> My very 1st fish from a kayak.

When it hit, it was so energetic I thought it was a kim then I thought Tarpon when it drew closer, end up it's just a mid-size Giant Herring.

Kim is great but Herring is nice too!

These are the best pics as it managed to shook off the lip gripper when I tried to take a better shot.

Caught it in the mangroves, I love the placid and solitude.
