The Hunt for Red October II

(Mission Accomplished for 2009)

Chrysantemum tea moment.



Next to me a coming back to the scene after long MIA; Bro Travis from one the elite SSB Surf Casters. Weighing up to 23 Kilos. This Brown Stingray (Himantura gerrardi) landed swiftly upon my 3 months off or Missing-in-Action from my Kampong of Heaven. Records after records were made. And the great Rambo is back with an extra 1.5 feet and bang the fish has taken it hard. I swear. Only fought it less than 10 minutes as i had to give it a good pump in and out before it had the chance to turn back to the sea and make a desperate run that would make it an hour period before it lands. Heng ar!



Many misses too by me & Travis. Sis Catherine was there to loudspeaker the night as i have a goodnight sleep at the sea after so many months wanting to return to this Kampong of Heaven of Mine.



Man this bugger is heavy but thinner than my January 09's catch with hitting it to 31 Kilos on the scale.



The trophy catch and the very much awaited pose.



Upon return home. My bro Fariz is shocked having to see such a big hauled up from the sea down under.



The butcher is back again.



Now the Stingray is disfigured and looking horrendous.



The first half.



The second butcher takes charge and damn the blood gushes out thru the veins profusely bleeding. Oh my God. Assam Pedas satu lah!!!



We've claimed another innocent victim. Assam Pedas will be up soon. InsyaAllah.



Yok makan yok!
