Well well, had an early day off from work so decided to go fishing with my cousin- quan-at the Taman Jurong Fishing Village. Picked him up at around 6 plus and went to get the necessary things which had run out i.e. swivels, leader etc.
We reached there at around 7 plus 8 and my cousin proceeded to fish first. Well, amatuer fisherman are usually more excited no?? haha Anyway he was able to start fishing first because he decided not to wait for me to tie the hooks and 'kapo' those ready tied ones from the Bangala counter!! What a lazy fellow...well he lost to me in the last round of friendly fishing competition so i think he wanna have a head start...
...Head start he did have...barely ten mins after casting his line, he saw action. I was still in the midst of getting my tangled leaders sorted out and he, eating his sambal fried rice. His line started tightening and suddenly the fish pulled hard in an attempt to escape... Quan dropped his sambal fried rice and rushed to his rod... one whack and the fight is on!! After about 30secs, he landed a beautiful bass that was of a good size...in fact, he almost lost the fish because when he swung his fish up onto land, the hook came off and landed on the concrete ...sibei heng!!! haha
Knowing the boaster or dua pao that he is, he started on his tirade of ' see i so skill...today you better be careful cos i in very good form....etc etc' well i have gotten used to it so i just nodded my head and proceeded to hook up the fish on our keep-line. haha then i gently reminded him that during the last round he also got the first fish but lost in the end... i was silently confident..haha!!
Revenge is always so sweet....haha and it came quite some time later cos i was busy sorting out the stupid tangled leader lines...took me quite a while to get out the mess...i seriously think that my catch was a godsend!! why??...read on... when my line started going taut, i simply gave it a superb whack and mad sure it had no escape!! however it feels different this time.it was quite light..i mean the feel is not right.i thought i had lost the fish but after some time i felt weight again..not long later, i had the bass on land...it was small....real small...and i got a teasinf from quan none the less..haha ..actually on closer inspection, i found that the fish was not hooked on my hook!!! instead, this was a fish tat someone had lost! somehow, the second hook of this lost line managed to hooked itself into the small hole in between my swivel and was lodged...haha..see what i meant by a god send fish?? it was so so difficult for that to happen!!! my cousin quan had a good time trying to discredit my catch..bu it still counts..1-1
You know as the saying goes, 'what comes around goes around' (or is it the other way??...not impt la!!) Quan's next fish was caught in an almost similar fashion as mine!! HAHAHAHA!! i certainly did not held back my teasing!!! the line of this lost fish somehow coiled around his swivel and got tangled...
What a lucky day.. anyway, we went thru a period of no bites before finally securing a total of 5 catches in all...not a bad day.. i had wanted to post some pics along with this post but somehow my stupid phone git some problems transferrimg so i din managed to do it this time round..will upload it asap.. i am coming up with a section on pond reviews..so stay tuned folks!!
