had an idea to use just 2 types of lure today. had taken a couple of days leave to finish up spring cleaning to my home. since i finished cleaning earlier than anticipated, i took the rest of the time to do some fishing. top lure is the berkley blade dancer mini and bottom lure is the berkley 4" power worm attached to a ewg worm hook
15 minutes into casting, a car stopped opposite the road and someone walked over to see me fish. i had a glimpse of the person and immediately, i recognised him as bela_oo, a forummer from malaysian fishing net. we greeted each other and then he went back to his car to get his fishing gear. bela_oo must have brought lady luck with him, although lady luck decided to stick to me as when he was getting his fishing tackle, i got a strike on the berkley 4" worm. yahoo!!! my first wild haruan on sp worm, and not a bad size too... approximated at around 800g. when the haruan took the lure, my instinct was to set the hook immediately. however, i remembered the words of another forummer, marlin, to wait a few seconds before striking. i could see the line moved and bubbles came out from the spot where the haruan whacked the lure. 3 seconds later, i struck. fish on. it put up a strong fight on my ultra light tackle. about a minute later, it was landed. right at that the time when i hauled up the fish to land, a lorry full of passengers passed by and they gave me a shout and put their thumbs up.
the whole ewg worm hook was in the mouth of the haruan. thankfully, i was able to take the hook out without killing the haruan. 
bela_oo, changing sp before continuing to cast. finally, now i know what "bela_oo" means. bela_oo aka wahid explained to me that "bela_oo" is a local Sarawak slang for haruan! i left wahid to fish at around 5.45pm. up until then, he had not catch any fish yet. just have to wait for his catch report then.
