It gets stuck back in the water, fed well, puts on some more weight then another "fisherman" catches it and he becomes the new "world record holder" These fishing lakes are everywhere and they all claim to hold "world records". Being a lifetime sport-fisherman, I prefer to do it "the real way". This stuff is akin to dropping a line in your fish-tank at home - - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be one helluva thrill to catch such an enormous fish on a rod and line. What kind of poundage line (if that is the correct terminology) are you allowed to use when fishing in these lakes? Helluva thrill? - You must be joking. Staff bait up the hook, cast it out then let you sit there and watch the rod. If it moves they grab it, set the hook and give it to you to wind in. When it gets clost to the pier you are sitting on they jump into the water, capture and hold the fish and as you to join them for the photo session! That's not "catching fish" - - - - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got no qualms about killing pests including stray dogs. But guys who pointlessly kill animals, including fish, have a mental problem IMO, how anyone can call this a sport is a mystery to me. No more a sport than bull fighting or badger baiting, cruel and pointless. You are obviously totally ignorant about "catch and release". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Jones Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 7 hours ago, Misterwhisper said: My guess is what the article means is that the fish tends to get bigger over time as the gentleman recounts the tale of his catch to friends and acquaintances. In this way, and as time progresses, the carp will initially be 232lbs, then 520lbs, then 1,346lbs, and so on until it eventually reaches the size and weight of a Mini. You know anglers... Exactly. All these fishing lakes claim to have world record fish. They are constantly caught and released, to be caught heavier later. They drive the IGFA mad trying to outdo each other with their record claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugocnx Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 10 hours ago, robblok said: Catch and release.. as you see the animal did not even leave the water. The lakes where I fish you are not allowed to take the animals out of the water you will have to get in the water yourself for your picture. Quite good care is taken to make sure the fish are not damaged. A carp like that can go for 500.000 bt as people will want to fish there knowing there is a change such a big fish can be caught. So how do you weigh the fish in the water...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Jones Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 5 hours ago, rak sa_ngop said: Just out of interest, how exactly did they manage to weigh the fish if they were not allowed to take it out of the water. Another Eureka moment? It is captured in a net by the staff and weighed on a set of hanging scales. The fish is treated for any injuries then lifted out of the net with the angler standing in the middle for the photo-shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't its estimated by the guides, I have never seen them weigh a fish at the lake where i fish. I doubt that this fish has really been weighed. But I could be wrong because I was not there. The lake i normally fish they might have weighed the fish before and use that and see if its bigger or not. But when I caught it they said it was 90 kg and its name was "scarface" and has been caught before. Anyway I am not too hung up on numbers when its about fishing its fun for me.

As they say in The Kingdom - for what ? The chase - the suffering- just to take advantage and get pleasure from an animal that has been on this planet far far longer than Homo sapiens ? You're relating a retpile's nervous system to a warm-blooded mammal like yourself. Wrong Go and do your homework about lateral lines and sensory receptors in the piscatorial world.

Lenny Jones Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 3 hours ago, CG1 Blue said: I do know what you mean. Myself I prefer the habitat to be as natural as possible, and for it to be as challenging as fishing on a river for example. That said, I've been to man made lakes in Phang Nga and the one near Krabi (not sure if I'm allowed to say names), and had amazing days fishing and taking in the incredible surroundings. I'll definitely do that again, but I would like to know about easily accessible 'natural' places to fish around LOS. Apart form the sea of course...I know that one. There are many big lakes in the mid-north of Thailand, some of them holding up to 45 different species. If you want a REAL sport-fishing challenge with a great culinary finish - Study and go for snakehead fish. That'll keep you busy for the rest of your life!

rwill Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 12 hours ago, bluesofa said: I googled it. It's in Ratchaburi - about 100km from Bangkok, so not quite 'southern Thailand' There again, the article was in The Sun. It's pretty close to the immigration office in Ratchaburi. A stocked pond that costs around 8,000 baht to fish at. It's most likely been caught before and will be caught again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All tremendous sports to prove your manlihood. And you don't eat fish? That's the main reason I catch them Nothing to do with my "manlihood" I've never clubbed a seal so I cannot comment on that. (you appear to know something about that) But I have spent countless hours playing "football with puppies and it appears you know nothing about that.

In Australia they are considered to be an invasive pest and it is actually illegal to return them to the water. If caught they must be dispatched and disposed of.
