ryaldinhio 4,684 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I think its a quality program. as said before it catches the piss takin and commeradery of fishin. Its as much about the social for me when I go as it is catchin fish nowadays. I think Ali hamidi does a good program. Fairbrass is onto that and realises he can make big bucks for low input other than funding. Not daft that bloke. The big fish of series is really good aswell. 2 Quote Link to post
mackem 26,949 Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 ITV4 at the moment fishing for monster carp in Thailand,should be interesting to see where he goes. Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 OK, 2 year old thread but still interesting! I've never caught a Monster, what actually qualifies as a Monster, apparenly a 60lb came out of one of my local lakes (pit) last weekend, that seems pretty big to me! 1 Quote Link to post

One of the thai fish last night,siamese carp,weighed in at 153 Lb's they also lost what seemed a bigger one that smashed its way out of the landing net,powered through and snapped the netting.

Flippen 'ek, I haven't got any kit capable of that! Quote Link to post
Welsh_red 4,671 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Caught the end last night. That carp was bonkers big . 1 Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 This size of Carp (actually any fish) is new to me! Just out of interest, what sort of kit do you actually need, the rod must be something special and the line, what, 100lb or there abouts, and what on earth size hook do you use!? Even my landing net, huge as I think it is, wouldn't cope! Probably daft but I've never been in this area. Cheers Quote Link to post
mackem 26,949 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 They get big in that particular lake,i have seen people use sea-fishing equipment in Thailand on freshwater lakes,and I put a pic up on here once of a guy using a tiny rod to play a huge fish,last time I fished in LOS I used Lb braid,fantastic experience if you can do it.

mackem 26,949 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Found the pic of the guy using the small rod,the lake in the pic was world famous for its light line IGFA records,it closed last year and is now houses. 1 Quote Link to post
