RIP Arapaima

Last night me , ah ho and simon went to bottle tree to try our luck to over the leader for the shimano twinpower 3000 competition. I decided to use hot dog as my bait. After 30 minutes of the first cast, i managed to get a walking cat. Small one though but it boosted my morale as i have been achieving quite a number of zero fighter for the past two months. Around 2340, i casted my bait to the floating platform in the middle of the pond. After like 15 mins, i thought it is going to be a quiet night and was walking towards my rod to reel back my bait to change to live bait. Suddenly my marker went up straight , i took my rod up. And who knows my stella C3000 is peeling line out from the spool, i shouted at ah ho . Hosei liaoz Arapaima ! As i am using Xzoga PE 2, i managed to bring it in within 15 minutes.

Happy like a kid getting his first ever toy, i went down into the water with ah ho to take pictures with my prized catch. This is the first ever time i get this fish and this arapaima is my biggest catch in my whole life. Estimated weight is around 50 kg !

After that, they brought it near the water pump area to regain its full conscious before letting it back into the waters again. However after 15 minutes i saw them took it up to the pavement, i realised that the arapaima did not make it. Haiz .... i am still having the guilty feeling now .... Rest in Peace Arapaima ... Thank you so much for the fun you given me.
