Fish Busters Crew

!st catch of the night...
The Gelama


Last night the crew had another outing at our Rock Marang spot...as usual the fish police made up of officers, Aizo, Salir and myself we're ready for another fish crime busting hahaha...it was about time we guys memajal at this spot with aizat and me earlier on the day bought some goldfishes to experiment on as live baits as what we've read on a angling magagzine....we guys set off at about 9ish. as usual we had to go to Bandar first to get our stock of prawns and yea we got a lot of them last night alongside with the earlier stock of goldfish....kan memajal kli kami ahhh we got to the spot at about 10...and on reaching the fish busters spot, we deployed every rod we had with us coz we we're having a large scale 'operation'......

We haven't been there about 15 minutes, the first culprit was caught trying to snag the prawn from AIzo's line....what do you know...another Gelama....that showed us we were in for a night hoping for more catches...we waited and waited and as usual played cards while waiting for more 'criminals' get caught on our little 'traps'....since we had a very short supply of bells we we had to use our Tiger visions to look if any activities are happening on our rods. The long await was paid off as this time another culprit fell for the trap and this time it was on my rod...reeled it in fast and yea baby...caught another gelama...that was convincing enough to encourage us more that we could get much more out of this spot even if not at that moment maybe in the upcoming trips. After some time of waiting again..we were suprised again by the sound of another ring from the bell on Aizo's rod...to our amazement Aizo's rod was bending like almost in the shape of a complete you...if you cant visualize how it is, well I can only tell you that it ain't something of any size of the previous catches we had before. Aizo reeled it in slowly as this big mobster was trying to get loose from the hook. the reeling in was quite tough, took quite a lot of energy from Aizo to get it even closer....we could even see the fish jump out of the water on occasions which we saw to have the description of being silverish in body colour, had a wider body size and no it doesn't look like any Gelama or those not game fish you might have in mind....as the fish got closer to the titian being reeled in by Aizo...it was clear to us that this fish is the mafia that we all hoped for...if you wana know what I'm talking about, yes it was the Barramundi that Aizo has hoped on of poaching....even at that close distance from the titian where we stood, getting it closer was so tough the fish fought and fought which finally it went under our feets right under the titian where it finally gave the slip and got loose by removing the hook using the Bintur or some net that in the water right under the titian. Damn that was very dissdapointing, I really hoped for that Barra to be reeled up....and we know Aizo was very dissapointed by that...tough luck dude, i guess the fish are getting smarter, maybe next time dude you will and not let the fish outsmarting us this time. The whole operation lasted for several hours until about 3am where we were out of baits and the rain started pouring down...it was a wrap by that time. Eventhough, it was another successful operation for the crew...but i personally feel it was dissapointing that, that 'mafia' was able to be reeled in succesfully..well maybe better luck next time Aizo....we just have to keep on fish busting
