Night De Castin Cp6 - The Bulldozing Cat

Surfcaster Syed and Surfcaster Hafiz on duty today. The cold night came alive when, my Penn Long Range rod was in a bended doubled!. The ratched on my Daiwa SealineX30sha was screaming out loud as a monster had made off with the bait. I jumped up, forced the rod out from the stand and hit the hook home...when,..suddenly...!!!, The fish started bulldozing himself against me on an already tight drag. My 15lb line was being stripped to near emptiness. I was in awe and shocked by the brute force of the monster fish. I held on hoping to tired-slowed the creature down. After combating tug-of-war mode , i finally mananged turning the head of the fish. Now, i was in control as I'd  steadily pumping it towards me, thus regaining my line back... At last, the battle was won and the fish was landed safely...all thanks to Hafiz..      

Picture of me and the Ikan Duri or Catfish. Weighin in at a 8 kilos on the scale. Casting far with a pendullum style technic proved to be lethal...Rod used was a remodified 13'2ft Penn Long Range paired with a Daiwa SealineX 30sha. I had to lower the line poundage and had used a 0.30mm diameter Xzorga line to be able to hit the horizon with most of my casts.

The Ikan Duri was denied entry into my 16quart Coleman icebox...I had fogotten to bring my butcher knife..So, i had to go back home to store and freeze the fish and thus returned back here again to rejoin my kaki, Hafiz...The next day, the fish was then sliced into two pieces, one for Hafiz and one for my mum..

The next day in my house..my mum was cooking the deliciously assam pedas with the fresh Ikan Duri....

The end result, and it was the best assam pedas i've ever eaten. Two Thumbs Up...!!!Sedap..!
