Way BIGGER Cao Xi :)

Caught a way bigger Cao-Xi this morning! Am I happy. :)

I picked David (Moser) up from his home at 6.30am and off we went to the Carl's Jr jetty - my favorite spot - for good reasons (nice sunrise, quiet and often serves up good fishes)!

We fished with sea worms. I didn't catch anything in the beginning. But David caught 2 whitings for me to use as baits.

But I pressed on with the worms with my 2 longer rods. Finally, the rod shaked slightly at around 9am - it was high tide (I think around 2m). I striked and realised there was something heavy on the other end.

As I retrieved it, it did not fight much but boy was it heavy. I was quite certain it was a sea creature because of its slight jerks. But as the "creature" came nearer to shore, it started to fight. Once, it managed to overcome the drag and swam away. But of course, it finally gave up and as it came closer, we realised it was a beautiful and huge cao-xi (or sicklefish).

As it was gut-hooked, I was more confident about lifting it out of the water by the string.

It was a beauty, we were both impressed and started taking pictures... Thank you GOD!

Now David is convinced that there are big fishes in our waters. :)

We finished the trip at 10am with a good breakfast at Old Town. The sharing was great and we managed to put in some prayers...
