I LOVE TOMAN (Giant SnakeHead) By BKKGUY

No matter how many times I've fished the toman, I still &  always have the big  urge to fish  the snakehead again & again.....   :(


Priory the trip, I've checked with my regular boatman (as always) regarding the weather & the bite rates. I was informed that there has not been any landing of toman for the past few days.

Hmmm...........inside my minds, I was pondering whether should I go or not ???  I just bought a new lure & a new  color for rapala deep diver. Maybe this will works !!! haha !!!


Anyway, I love challenging fishing. Fishing in the wild is a  test within yourself against the nature and of course , against the toman fish. ;)

I just packed up my tackles & hit the road. Fish first think later. ;)Drove some 350KM to reach the toman spot. Crazy me !!!

Enjoys the exciting vid clip and highlights photo shots.

Here the full storyline of my toman adventure.. ;)

 

Drove some 350KM distant & 1.00AM in the wee morning. Crazy me !!!

Half way through the journey, I made stopover at this 24HRS Mac Donald for a quick bite and a hot coffee before I continue my journey.



The only country where you can see a Mac Donald 'Sawadee' you , this can be only found in Thailand. ;)


The long and lonely road ...........

Always enjoy your reports, such a gorgeous place to fish!

I only had 4 hours fishing while I was in Thailand at New Years, still managed a 30lb+ Mekong but dropped the only Snakehead I found right at my feet! Very disappointed, surprised me how predatory and powerful it was. Convinced me I want to fish Thailand a lot more though.

Some good pics there too, well done.
