Chongster's Boat - 1st March 2012

This trip was planned months ahead.....

due to unforeseen circumstances, two were unable to come.

Only five hookers turn up hoping to beat their personal best...

AN, HN, ADY, KL plus FJ

makeshift rod holders on Chongster's boat are handy when you

are playing with 2 or more rods.....provided you don't get the lines

entangled all the time....

ADY.......winning the pool money

for the first catch and the biggest fish...

something really fishy about that 'number 3' t-shirt...

ADY fiddling with his catch while Uncle Chong watches on

....how he kept the fish warm in it's last moments....

HN's Grouper......BIG......but not enough...

ADY's Bamboo Shark...

We have to convince him that he can't

make shark's fin soup with this thing...

The weather took a change at around 2 p.m. and we were

doing a mini version of Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch

Things turned much better after the rain stops

some 30 minutes later. We were landing fish after fish.....

which puts the smiles back on AN's face....

It was a nail biting experience for Uncle Chong

during the first half of the day when AN threatened

to form the 'Zero Fighter Club' together with BRY...

KL laying the fishes for a group shot.....

The harvest.....around 70 pieces

....a mix of Groupers and Snappers

....Uncle Chong always delivers....

He even caught a rare 七星班...
