The Golden Trevally is beautiful! I can't remember when was the last time I landed one. But I did caught one of that puffer early this year, and it was a big one. :o Thanks for sharing your catches, it certainly does gives me the motivation to go fishing. :thumbsup:

Yea, these trevally can grow up to a pretty big size, the fight is awesome. :D Too bad they lose their golden shine as they get older. :lol:

As dBs has pointed out, that's a batfish. I believe two species of batfish can be caught locally. So far, I've only caught juvenile ones which has very pretty long fins. As they mature, the fins will shorten and the fish becomes 'rounder' like yours. Adults can easily hit a few kg in size.

As for Kembong, I've not caught one yet so I can't put it up. You can easily buy that from the market though. :p Kekek is a very nice eating fish despite the slim. The only thing is the size, most of the ones we caught from local waters pretty small. If you haven't tried big ones before, buy it from wet market to try first. ;)

Wow, that's pretty unusual for a queenie to bend the hook to this extend. :shocked: That's a very nice catch. :nod:
