Koi Hunting

Koon Wei invited me to fish with him at a top secret spot with our main species being targetted kois. Reached the spot and just tied on a size 5 or 6 hook and hooked some bread on it. At first we squeezed the bread, causing it to sink. The kois didn't really fancy this and so we changed to floating bread. Rayner was the first to get a koi. The koi surfaced, looked at the bread and inhaled it. The fight was incredible considering the amount of line being peeled out. He landed it. It was a nice 2lb yellow coloured koi.

Next it was my turn. Spotted 2 kois swimming about eating the bread that we had berleyed. I hooked on a piece of bread and casted it right next to the kois. The kois were very cautious but fortunately fell to my trap. It surfaced and inhaled it good. I gave it a hard strike and the fight was on. ZZZzzZZZZZZ!!!! Line was peeling out fast. I had to control the fish so it wouldnt head for the snags. This bugger was powerful!! There were times where i thought i had lost the fish to snags but forunately, the hook didnt come off. Phew! I landed it with the help of koon wei. Weighed it on my immitation boga. WOAH!!! A 4LBER!!! This bugger was fat!! Unhooked it and released it back.


I had reached my quota for the day and let koon wei catch a koi. While i was hooking on some bread, i heard Koon Wei say, "lai liao, lai liao" i turned and saw him give a hard strike. ZZZzzzzZZZ!!!! The same thing happened, line was peeling out fast and this clever fish kept heading for the snags but Koon Wei managed to control it. He landed it and weighed it. A 4lber as well! It was one fat ass koi....

Since we had all reached our quota for the day and we didn't want to scare all the other kois, we left the place and shouldnt return there for a while to let the fish relax for a bit...but fear not, WE WILL BE BACK!!
