Next spot was our Inner Heaven. After casting, i proceed to place the rod into the pipe when suddenly, there's a big bite and my rod was bending down...I striked....but never did connect....alamak...!!!

I was waiting patiently for the big bite to come again.....but, it never came...

A view of Mateen and the South China Sea...

My own big-game gear in ready mode....

Mateen with his powerhouse, a big Daiwa Opus Bull 6000 w/t his 12'ft Penn Powergraph Surf (fs) version.

Mateen's big-game set....

Mateen was reeling in his line, when he noticed a Ketam Renjung or Flower Crab was at the end of it. The crab had hooked itself. Upon picture taking, the crab was released...The day was getting darker as we could sense a storm coming. The water temperature was getting cold at this time....
