Never Say Die !! No Limit !! Wild Toman !! By BKKGUY

The hunt continue.... for the record size toman (10KG or >) in Thailand.

Just last week, we did a 1 DAY trip there. Driving some 400KM for 1 DAY fishing trip is no joke. The return trip is very tiring !!!

This time round, we decided to make it a 2 straight days fishing trip. This way, more resting time for myself (I'm the driver) and not to mention more fishing time...keke !!! :)

Looking at my rather tight fishing schedules for this month May, I managed to  squeeze in 2 DAYS of wild toman fishing before I head back bkk on my 2nd night to continue my fishing appointment then.

Preparation :

All itinerary , tackles and lure box checked and ready.

We set off at 12.00AM midnight (bkk time) and drive slowly.
Arrived at the said toman spot at about 5.00AM. Just in time  to catch the morning 'first light'.


Although the said monster toman spot has plently of big & huge  toman of size 8-10KG or more. Getting these monster fishes to bite on your lure is not as easy as what some think.

Any toman of size 5KG or bigger , especially those 'individual wild toman' are very strong fish. You may hook them but may not necessary land them successfully.

A great amount of fishing skills and knowledges are required here.

Terry landed a whoppy 6.52KG toman on his rapala risto rap.
As for myself, I landed 3 tomans of size 2KG, 3KG and a near 4KG toman..No big one this trip round, will try again next time. ;)

When come to wild fishing, catching a big fish is always a bonus for me. The whole fishing trip & journey are already a new experience and advenutre for some.

"The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of that which is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope”- Quoted
