Netting a Snakehead - rod and line clamped with rod hand, rod tip down. When you have 40lb leader you must protect the rod!!
It's a Snakehead! Not huge but this is an adult of around 2KG and consequently you can count them when they reach this size :)
Camp spot on the lake (Martyn's Inferno)... storm approaching

Yay!!! Stefan Siikavaara with his first Giant Snakehead. Just shy of 4KG.

Hammocking - The Lawson Hammocks still going strong.
It rained only once in two weeks... or maybe twice!
Termites in their millions. Three different species (or at least three different sizes and body colours in this fall)
Beautiful mornings on Belum-Temenggor
Here in the jungle we always fish hard. Here Stefan is working on his mental game.
The obligatory Sexyloops Campfire
This was rather nice - the moon climbing over the mountains while enjoying the campfire ambience.
Last knockings - great time for Gourami and the once in a while free-rising Snakehead. Sometimes it is possible to sight fish after dark - surprising I know!! But because the water is green and the Gourami appears black, they can sometimes be spotted. As Stefan puts it,
Tim joins the exclusive Giant Gourami club with a 9lb fish!
The Rocket
A free-riser for Tim in the Sexyloops Shirt!

Fishing with Martyn
Heart in mouth as Snakehead follows the popper to the side of the boat.
The explosive Snakehead take
I remember when this tree fell, creating a natural bridge. Now we appear to have a swing bridge!
For the first time this year the water temp is over 32C, and for the first time this year I've seen free-rising Snakehead. I don't think I've ever seen the thermocline so deep at this time of year. It's been very hot 37/38C highs for several weeks now. It's shaping up to be a great year ahead!
The Snakehead are starting to appear, and not before time :-)))
I was pretty happy to hook a trophy Gourami... until I lost it!
Fish are starting to reappear!
The endless search...
Heatwave in the dry season. Sure beats winter however!
Shifting down the lake for 5 days.
Finally some speed appearing back with the engine. 39kmh. Had quite a few issues with the motor but it seems to be picking up pace again!
The cockpit of the Rocket C!
Shifting down the lake aboard the Rocket Condom
