Weird But True!

A total of 26.02 kilos of Sea Bass and all through hand-line fishing!

Location of Port Dickson

That’s right folks! Someone in Port Dickson Malaysia yesterday landed 4 handsome sized Sea Bass (Barramundi) or Siakap to the locals here with a total combined weight of 26.02 kilos all from hand-line fishing. The biggest catch was a whopping 12.055 kilos! It took two strong men to haul it onboard. There are no fishing reels or rods involved here, just pure manual labor!

 

That amazing catch happened yesterday on the 5th of May 2007, 2kms off the nearest shorelines of Port Dickson on a kelong. If you are wondering what kelong is, it is more like some sea fishing platforms that you may have seen in your parts of the world. Except that kelongs are normally wooden structures anchored to the sea bed using wooden piles or stilts! Such kelongs are quite common in the South East Asian region and you can see them along the Straits of Malacca from Singapore, Malaysia and all the way to Thailand.

 

Update: Just got words that it is currently Sea Bass (Siakap) fishing season in Port Dickson Malaysia. If you are interested in dropping by, go fishing and would like to have the assistance or guidance of the man who caught this amazing 26.02 kilos of Sea Bass (Siakap), you may contact the man himself,  Mr Md Isa (pronounced as ‘mud ease sar’) at +60 6 6515176.
