Pangasius catfish

Got 2 of these Patin kolam at Kolam Joran Terbang Batu Berendam. Using a friend's 7" rod n 5000 size reel, with Berkeley monofilament line. Using umpan minyak i.e minyak special plus white flour mix, on a Y shape Patin rig. Quite a fiesty fighters these heavy patins, as they used their weight to their advantage.

Had a good fight with this patin on an UL setup, with 5lbs braid mainline n 6lbs floro leader. With a Y rig baited with gardenia bread cut in small pieces and knitted into 2 rather smallish SS hooks. Which did a good job of holding the light line, leader and rig together for a well balanced setup. Took a while to land this patin, which is very healthy with shiny silver body

Look at that sharp

Wife caught her largest Pangasius... Yet...

Biggest catch of the year. Good fight and safely landed the fish after 5 minutes. 50lbs Kastking braided 4x main line and 50lbs Fisherman mono leader line with 2/0 Chinu hook.
