Good day everyone!
What a great trip—truly a magnificent one! A trip that blurred the lines between the so-called leisure live-bait anglers and specialist casters/jiggers!
A special shoutout to our dear member Long, who achieved an incredible personal and group record by landing 10 batangs during this trip. That’s a remarkable accomplishment and certainly a record that will be difficult to break anytime soon. His hard work, skill, dedication, and perseverance paid off in a big way. Congratulations, Long!
Watching Long land batang after batang, I gave it my all as well, only to end up with a personal record of 5 barracudas—the complete opposite of what we were targeting!
That said, many others had memorable catches worth mentioning:
* Our beloved “Teddy Bear” Ron landed a 6–8kg cobia in under a minute and also caught his first-ever batang on jig.
* Malcolm caught his first batang on a minnow.
* Jason landed a very decent and beautiful golden snapper.
* Ah Huat landed the biggest fish on sabiki for the trip.
* Mr Pok caught a good-sized red snapper.
Beyond the catches, it was simply a fantastic trip. We shared plenty of laughter, great moments, good food, and a few drinks. The atmosphere was lively throughout, and the camaraderie among everyone made the experience even more enjoyable.
A big thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to making this trip such a memorable one. Whether you caught your target species, achieved a personal best, or simply enjoyed the company and experience, each of you played a part in making this trip special.
Looking forward to the next adventure together
