over an hour of fruitless casting, i finally landed this 800g fella when i work my bbd over a patch of floating weeds, that i just heard some splashes. this haruan is a quasimodo... meaning it had hump on its back.
the same haruan, after the BBD was dislodged.
the second haruan i caught was slightly bigger. my estimate, 900g. it was deceived using the same lure... the deadly bbd. i cast over to a patch of clearing. it was a blind cast, that i had done countless of times earlier to the same spot. the dark cloud was moving towards the area where i was fishing. i was to be my last few cast. then i felt a thug as i was retrieving the lure. i did not strike immediately. instead i counted 1, 2, 3... and only then did i struck. the hook set. the fish put up a valiant fight. when i got it near the bank where i was standing, i realised i didn't want to risk breaking my fishing line by lifting the fish + weeds that were entangled. used a scoop net to lift the fish up. my tackle setup... shimano slade 2500 and ryobi 2-piece rod.
just how dark it was when i caught that fish.
