65KG Arapaima Landed on my 7WT Fly Rod By BKKGUY

After much time chasing after those monster toman, it good to go back pond fishing  once a while.

 

I've not been fly fishing for a while, a bit rusty though...

 

Not bad to land a monster size 65KG arapaima on my return trip with my  7WT fly rod...:)


Enjoys those photo highlights and exciting youtube clip...:)

I know the araipama (from River monsters), but what is the other weird looking fish?

Bloody nice catch on a 7wt either way. How long to subdue the fish.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Nice Arapaima gigas. These fish are endemic to South america and not Thailand. They stock them in ponds in Thailand for fishing purposes.

 

The other fish is an Alligator gar, a native of North America.
