Snakehead hunter vs Haruan

5.30pm...my friend and i cast at swamp near Ranca-Ranca darat village .

The black swampy land...it was so black it looked like black tea that had brewing for long time...it was snakehead heaven .

Today i'm using Surecatch Mini froggy...among the best ever snakehead lure

Casting the Surecatch Mini froggy next to grassy patch , i retrieved the lure...almost immediately it disappeared with a vicious splash and shortly thereafter was rewarded...Yehooo!!!...i cought 500grm haruan .

Perfect hook up...

Thank for good fight!!...after taken pictures , i releasing haruan back to nature for fight another day...Nevermind what other people are doing...

Forbidden snakehead heaven

4pm..my friends and i go to the new fishing spot...it was forbidden area , but who care...we just want to fishing..ha..ha..from the picture you can see my friends ride motorcycles in front off my car .

It take about 10 minute to get there..we must walk into the thorny bush .

This is the new snakehead heaven we found...


This snaggy water full with haruan ( channa sitrus )and toman ( Channa Micropeltes )

Is this the new style of bait casting?..he..he..my friend Mr Nizam try to get the best position to cast snakehead .

My persistence finally paid off when my Surecatch froggy was duly taken . I was long ready for the moment and give it a hearty yank , before it had any chances of getting into weedy snag . I had tightened my Abu Garsia Black Max almost to fullest , and the fish had no chance againtst my brutal reaction . In the end , it was dragged out together with a huge bunch of weeds....Yehoo...500grm haruan , it certainly made my day .

The result of using non-traditional lure can be quite magical . Surecatch froggy for catching " whopper "is confirmed beyond doubt .

Secret recipe

5.30pm...i cast at Ranca-Ranca swamp, i brought out six inch Gulp softbait in the shape of a lizard . Casts for while but did not attract any interest so i change to my killer lure...

My killer lure...Surecatch mini froggy

I did not give it any chance after the jump . Using brute force..i pumped it in shortest possible time . open landing , i noticed that was no sign of my lure...Swallowing it down deeply , its wanting to consume my whole frog in one gulp was deemed by me as a compliment on the effectivess of my lure presentation .

The sweet satisfaction ....finally after almost 1 week without any catch...Yehooo 500grm haruan i cought...

The new snakehead hunter?

5pm..my friends and i cast at Ranca-ranca swamp

Woooo...first 500grm Haruan cought by mr Nizam

What?...second 500grm haruan cought by Mr Nizam...the new snakehead hunter

Hu..hu..hu..not my day! zero catch for me..he..he

Snakehead jigger ?

5.15pm...Ranca-ranca swamp, hearing a quiet little plop , i turned in direction of that sound and saw some bubbles floating next too a couple of stalks of grass . Casting the Viva mini frog past the rise , when the lure passed the stalks of grass , there was a " pock " sound but no hookup . Then i change to my killer lure...

My killer lure...Surecatch Mini froggy

As i approached the flooded grassy areas the water meandered it's way between the grassy patches . Casting the Surecatch next to a grassy patch and then i try jigging the lure ...almost immeditiately its disappeared with a vicious splash...Yehooooo!!...yes!..finally i cought 700grm haruan

Haruan ( Channa sitrus ) is traditionally taken on live frog and they are said to show disinterest in artificial lures most of time...i prove it all wrong

Double strike!!

5pm..my friends and i hunt haruan at Ranca-Ranca swamp

First strike!!...400grm haruan cought by Mr Nizam

Frog are part of haruan diet , effort to imitate these frog such as placing it on a leaf and shake it a bit will trick the haruan .

Second strike!!..Yehooo!!...i cought 500grm haruan

Perfect hook-up..

The result of using non-traditional lures can be quite magical
