Toman is consider one of the  most  cunning and  smartest fish in asia.

Thus making it one of the source after Prized Fish  for most  Asian Anglers.

I always tell many of my coming toman  anglers that :

" They make hookup the toman (Giant Snakehead ) during a wild fishing trip but they may not be able to land the fish".

You may ask  why????

Below the reasons :
Toman by nature instinct will dive for the nearest weeds and underwater  structures when hooked.

You need to be ultra fast speed to strike hard N reel in the line.

Set your reel's drag high to prevent the toman for making the initial dive under for under structures.

MAMA toman

Going after the MAMA fry toman, it not easy as some anglers may think.

For those MAMA that have been hooked up before N released back again, usually this  group of MAMA toman are very wary whatever lures that thrown at them.

Sometimes, they'll abandon their baby and watch over their toman fry from afar.

For this kind of scenario, don't cast at the fry anymore but cast direct at the MAMA instead when she came up to breath or splash water to attract her fry toman to come to her.

What lures to use ??? How far the distant to cast your lure ??? What speed to crank ???  When to change lure ???.

That's come down to individual  fishing knowledge N skills.

There are much more to learn before ones will be successful in Giant Snakehead fishing.

Although I've fished toman more than any normal  anglers due  to my love for toman fishing.

I'm constantly  acquire  new skills N  new knowledge's myself whenever I fish in the wild.

There is no easy way to learn how to fish this prized fish of asia then to go out there and fish your heart  out...;)
