Re: Raspiritz CR
That's a nice croaker you have there Ian, I believe it's not a fish that I have on site. Note that the tail has a flat end whereas the common gelamas we catch have rounded tail. Also, the mouth is slightly wider as well. Do you have another picture of the fish from the top? Good luck on your next fishing trip, may you land a biggie soon.

Re: Raspiritz CR
I don't think so, the tiger-toothed croaker is has a more slender body, smaller eyes and different tail shape though the same colour. I think the fish you caught looks like a Big-head Pennah Croaker (Pennahia macrocephalus) or possibly a Greyfin croaker (Pennahia anea) .

Re: Raspiritz CR
Went back to the same spot, better luck this time
I call these fishes sleepy fish... cause everytime when we nearly fell asleep, they wake up up by shaking / bending the rod...
Fishes with my "trademark" plier...
Everytime reminded myself to change to other things for comparision of the size of the fish... keeps forgetting....
2 - 300gm Ang Go Li
1.5kg Conger Eel
Last but not least... 3rd hook up is an ah seng, so no pics of it...

Re: Raspiritz CR
This looks like a good spot indeed, especially if you're able to hit something everytime. Maybe if you bring a hammock with you to sleep in, you'll get even better results! May I ask what bait did you use to get the Pike Conger?

Re: Raspiritz CR
Very nice catch there raspiritz, got fish and cuttlefish too! You must try the toadfish, ask domvonn for the secret recipe. The grouper still got the prawn feelers coming out of its mouth, and it looks like quite a big prawn too.
