It was in the year 1988 and i was 13 years old. I've saved my school's pocket money to buy myself a $69 dollars of a 03piece Silstar power tip 12'ft rod from old Nordin Deep Sea shop. Seeing my enthusiasm, my dad handover 02 of his precious Daiwa 4000c spinning reels to me. After school, iam often at Bedok Jetty. It's was such great moments for me to witnessed and learned the basic shorefishing and technics by the veteran fisherman there. I was always witnessing them fighting and landed Monster fishes there like the Giant Shovelnose or the Giant Stingrays. In one of my fishing spots in Punggol area track 22, I mananged to land a 4kg Stingray. I was fishing, facing Coney Island and the surrounding was all original/natural of mangrove swamps.The fish whacked my dead prawn rendering my rod into a "U" shaped bend. The line kept coming out in a slow strong motion for about 2 minutes, non-stop in a lightly tight drag. It was an unforgettable experience.
