Brandon's "Monster Class" catch

[Chris Tan]

Everyone knows Brandon's monster class GTs. But when he asked me to bring him for Monster Class fishing in Singapore, Richard Foong and I decided to introduce him to something a little different.

Like Brandon always says, if it swims I want to catch it.

It started real slow as we couldn't get the hang of hooking these critters. We kept losing our catch to poor hook-ups and striking too hard (we are GT fisherman afterall!) The lady next to us was catching plenty before Brandon hooked up his 1st monster class creature. Boy was he happy. He even let the little fella pinch his finger.

We didnt do too well and luckily the owner of the place took pity on us and gave us a few to supplement our meagre catch and we had enough for a meal.

The little fellas kept Brandon entertained and there was enough eye candy nearby to pass the time. But I think we'll stick to GT fishing.....

Hey Chris - thanks heaps to you and Richard for taking me to catch those critters! It's a lot of fun and quite challenging trying to hook them. There is a real knack to it and I haven't got it. I'll have to try again some time!

[Greg Burt]

 When you told me last week you were going with Chris and Richard to catch some Prawns I presumed you were roughing it, like casting a net 

[Ken Best]

The effort was worth it Brandon looking at that plate, yum!!!

[Scott Maybury]

They look a whole lot tastier than a GT, and I have never had that kind of scenery whilst GT fishing so well done!

[Peter Morris]

mmmm looks like you upset that lady Brandon....or possibly it was the incoming text message from Shane Warne....

Looks like a bit of fun.

You guys reckon blondes are trouble - Chinese girls make an art form of that look ........

Hey - is that place up the north of Singapore near the American base? think I went there about 10 years ago!

[Mick Cunningham]

I hope that he is not running 18kg of drag with those  monster 

That look like fun.  hmm it would be nice to explode over there 

Well done brandon  ..

[Sheldon Chee]

Good monsters there Brandon! The big cuppers sure worked their magic again. 

Chris,
Should have brought the man to the other 'monster' fishing over at the CNR pond.

Alex,
That area is in the eastern parts of Singapore and the pond started only a couple of years ago.

[Kasey Leong]

Nice cherabins Chris!

Prawn fishing itself is an artform - as with GT fishing there are Owner hooks, special rods, etc etc... and it can be very tricky to set the hook!

[Brandon Khoo]

trying to set the hook is the hardest part! I had so many get away at that stage.
