BARRAMUNDI LANDED!!!!

A celebration night for the crew as the first Barramundi a.k.a Siakap was landed to set a new record for us.This trip was led by Haziq,Taufiq,Dinie and Fred .The night started out with Haziq landing a decent size Blukang on floater as the live prawn on the hook died. Next Dinie missed a couple as his floater was pulled in. Fred caught his first fish on rod and it was also a Blukang. Taufiq had a quiet night with landing two small baitfishes. The Barramundi story started with Haziq abandoning his floater to do luring instead. So Dinie and Fred decided to stay at the same spot and have a good chat about personal issues. As Haziq and Fiq came back to pack up to go home, Dinie and Fred also went up to pack. Suddenly out of the blues, Dinie turned to see his floater missing from the surface of water and his rod was bending at a huge angle. Its ON! Dinie fought the fish as it went right and left until the identity of the fish was revealed by its acrobatic leaps out of the water. Dinie shouted "Siakap!! Siakap!!" as the fish was brought to land and the hook snapped luckily not in the water. Everyone was overwhelmed by the catch as it was unexpected.The siakap's weight was 3kg. Finally...the legendary siakap has been landed! Best trip so far!!
