I arrived at 6 clock Bungsamran lake to the point, just as the sun began to appear. It 'was a beautiful morning with very little wind, the lake's surface like a mirror broken only by the appearance of some of the big fish that lurk in this part of world-class fishing.

Khun Boonsong mixed bait, while he waited, until I created my auctions, the arrest of the first cast is made even my heart, which are much faster. Khun Boom song is one of the mainCarp specialist guides to work here and what he does not know the Siamese Carp is not worth knowing.

The bait that he was a combination of mixed milk powder, creamy aroma of vanilla, sweet corn with a few other secret ingredients (he calls his mega mix carp bait), which was all included in the basic mixture of rice bran. This mixture is much more rain the combination we use to catch the catfish of the Mekong.

Nothing had happened for the first half hour, then went Boonsong,buy breakfast, he had more than thirty seconds, like bingo, I had a bite, ran the fish and the line was screaming from the reel, then it just stopped (probably the detection of the hook). I wound the roll for the inclusion of slackline, I thought, maybe it was random hook, clothes suddenly the line as the fish moved, I immediately hit and set the hook firmly in the mouth, the fight was!

After the initial excitement of hooking the fish, I started looking for information on the typeFish. From my experience, catfish and striped catfish of the Mekong are similar, they tend to run with the bait stripping line from the reel at a fantastic price. The Mekong catfish and the smallest loss in long lines, hard runs slowly in a curve "C" or a big "S" shaped curve.

The Siamese Giant Carp rather deep and suddenly become almost a zig-zag. It 'hard to believe that these fish when they are completely weightless in water and isFighting for their strength.

My line carved a classic letter "Z" and I was pretty sure I had a carp at the end of the line. I knew I had to take my time and play the fish, in contrast to the Mekong Giant Catfish Carp has a very soft mouth and pull the hook too much drag. I decided easily by drag, and I draw a precise Boss Magnum 870 with clutch control lever in the Strait of light very end, without reaching the hands of the rod and reel. Youare much simpler than using a fixed coil, especially when fishing for larger specimens.

My goal at this point was to tire the fish to keep as soon as possible and as far as I could roll up the Siamese Giant Carp to appear and then the last minute to make a line known for freedom (there are many bungalows around the lake and a dock in mid-division, lost a lot of fish went between the beams and columns).

The struggle of ten yearsMinutes and had made progress, the fish has been exhausting, it was not the only one in my arms began to ache. After five minutes of combat, is a curve, determines the reality has led the party out of the water, it was a Siamese Carp.

The carp has several hairpin turns and then the typical of these creatures, he pretended to show, I was ready. I moved to the side and place the fish under the bungalow we were speeding, I pulledleft, moving easily and with a little 'of footwork (I those ballet lessons come in handy again one day) was frustrated for the last time the tree stumps in the lurch.

The carp has to go on his last attempt, the depth, the experience of mud Causing a lot of bubbles of gas that is trapped under the sea, but this time it was so I was exhausted, but the fish do not know that Boom song appeared, with the landing net in hand, I've never been happier to see him, hequickly prepared a plan to get the fish.

We dropped the line from his mouth, and we also ripped off another line of a battle before he had apparently won.

The Siamese Giant Carp weighed 25.3kg £ 56, which was quickly to the lake after a couple of shots for the album returned.
