A pity the big one got away, but I always look at it as a motivation to come back again another day to win the fight. ;) You should invest in a lure retriever or make one yourself, it will ease your pocket a little in the long run.

Good job on landing more Haruans, I'm sure they'll see plenty more of you in this school holiday. :lol:

Your fishing adventures just keep getting better and better. :D That must be the mommy haruan, good for you for releasing it back. I ever caught an arowana using a minnow, so I think what you're using now should probably work too. Perhaps it was spooked by your presence, they can see pretty well what's going on above water.

1st guy , never really believed that topwater is gonna get haruans at my spot but becos i tried everything else but failed hmm rig up this walk e dog lure cast jerk jerk jerk wham!!!
Image
look at the size of e fish and the lure wow this guy must be hungry arh~

2nd guy really funny, i have been using alot of bait ranging from live frogs to lures but never did i expect i would get a haruan on bread!? actualy there shld be 2 but oh well lost the other one that took e bread it was a biggie too
Image

3rd guy. Pretty good learning experince. I HAVE NEVER EVER GET A Fish on rubber lures like never...
but after luring with a friend , decided to pick some rubbers .Went to test cast jerk jerk pause 5 secs jerk jerk pause 5 sec then suddenly a weight. Straight away set e hook fish on la . Even though a smallie but still a haruan! Shld be 2 de but fail to set the hook nicely on the ohter guy seem like a biggie too =(
