Re: Haruan hunt!
You guys are sooooo lucky, it is too cold here (24 degrees F) I went this weekend and used a ZOOM trick worm Watermelon seed green on a Texas rig and didn't get Jack Squat and that normally does the trick year round...... at least it has before.... may just need to hang up my rod till February

Re: Haruan hunt!
I wouldn't want to freeze my butt fishing in that temperature, kind of makes me appreciate the climate here. But then again, you probably wouldn't like the high humidity here either.

Re: Haruan hunt!

Re: Haruan hunt!
That looks like a big Haruan, and a fat one too. It's interesting to see one managed to grow to that size in a place that open and frequent by fishermen. Perfect reward for your 2 hours of non-stop luring!

Great catch Daryl ! Keep it going !

Re: Haruan hunt!
Alright went to btp again today! but undortunately went there after the morning frenzy.. there was quite a number of people at btp today the catch rate aint that good but nevertheless self made recipe of kng stuffs still produces result! my friend got patins and rohus but unfortunately he lost a HUGE patin that bented his hook it literally brought him for a ride but sadly not landed while he was fighting that monster i had a take and guess wad its a monster too ! personal record! ahhash alright lets let the pics do the talking
Went there setup casted the first bomb...
No takes reeel in after a good 15 mins?
baited again and cast out and str8 away like 1 mins a take that kept peeling line of my UL setup
a strong pacu!
and oh my gawd this guy bit off the hook of the bomb rig didnt take a pic thou~
then after a few fish landed by my friend.. i am feeling low cos i didnt have takes then abt mayybe an hour or so later a take finally!
followed by one more patin i think then the monster came
the monster that peeled my line and feels like a rock
a monster walking cat i dun rlly noe the weight on it
i guess u guys have to estimate it!
need to muster all my strength to hold it up!
a comparison on the length and the size of this monster!
AS LONG AS MA LEG!!?

Re: Haruan hunt!
The catch ain't bad at all and the walking catfish is bigger than your leg! There truly must be something in your Kng recipe that makes you shine out in that crowd of anglers. Thanks for sharing your catch report with us!

Re: Haruan hunt!
Maybe it's just one of those dry spells we anglers have, don't worry about it. That cpc is a good comeback already, nice catch!.
Re: Haruan hunt!
Hug it ! You'll get a bigger one next time.
