Another red snapper

Here is another big one that is pulling. Get ready.


Woooh! You really want a fight eh?


Here it comes, a big one by the look of it. Hope it is not a shark again.



A red snapper.

Hook it mate!


Here you are. a red snapper.

A tankful of red snappers and groupers

Shark

A row of rods ready for the day!


Hey, this is hot men! Sim was doing the popping style of fishing on board. This guy has determination and persistency. He did not get the big one but he did get a shark.



A shark got caught.

Shark on board and you better watch it.



This one is a fighter. Watch out for its tail.

A fruitful day of grouper

A nice day out in the South China Sea. Beautiful weather at this time of the year.



Got it! One is coming up again.


Hoooh, got it. Don't let it get away!


This one is a grouper.

Trevally night

I think I have got something! says John Jong.


Here it comes! And it is heavy by the feel of it.


Woh! This one is a fighter alright.


Got it! A trevally.


Still alive.

Handling the first catch of the night

Hey! This is the first catch of the night, a trevally.


Take it easy! This one is still alive and wriggling.

Big catch

This is fun, another red snapper for the day.

The grouper seems to be hungry today. I have got two in one line this time. says Fum

High Noon With Red Snappers

Here is another one that takes the bait. A big one, judging by the fight from this one. Notice the bending of the rod.

Up it comes, out of the water is this red snapper (Ang Kei)

I have got it! says Vong


Take this one for me will you? Another one bite the dust....

Red chicken day

Here is one taking the bait. I have got it. Hooooo.

It's coming in. Get ready the hook.

Up it goes.

Ok, the hook is off and I have got you.

Here is the red chicken (red snapper). Anglers do have their code name for fishes.

Notice the eyes of this red snapper. Shooting pics on live fish aboard is so different from photographing a dead fish in the fish market.

Giving your fish a fight

Here is how you fight your fish. Pull in, let go and reel in the line, pull again and let go.

Steady does it, as a father and son handle the fish

Here it comes, and get ready with the hook to take it in.

Ahooo. It is in now, safe on board.

Here you are. This one is mine.

Wait, I have got a double this time.
