Lake Bungsamran I arrived at 6 am sharp, as daylight began to appear. It was a beautiful morning, with little wind, the surface of lake like a mirror that only disturbed by the appearance of some of the big fish that hide in this world class fishing water.

Khun Boonsong bait mixture, while waiting for me to set up my rods, the apprehension of those issued in the first place still makes my heart beat faster than here. Khun Boomsong is a leading specialist carp Guides working here and do not know anything about Siamese carp is not worth knowing.

The bait was mixed was a combination of baby milk powder flavored custard cream, sweet corn with some other secret ingredients (he calls his bait carp mega mix), all this was added to the mixture of rice bran base. This mix is much wetter the combination that we use to catch catfish.

Nothing had happened for the first half hour, so Boonsong had gone to buy breakfast, it was not last thirty seconds, bingo, I had a bite, the fish were running and the line was screaming off the tape, then it just stopped (probably hook detection). I finished the reel to take the line loose, I thought maybe I had spilled the hook, line suddenly tightened as the fish moved, I was struck immediately and firmly hook in the mouth, the fight was on!

After the initial excitement of hooking the fish, which had begun to look for clues about what kind of fish was. Of my past experiences, the Striped and catfish are similar, since they tend to run with the bait off-line extraction of the reel at a fantastic rate. The Mekong and Platydoras give the smallest hard long runs, which gradually turn into a "C" or a wide range of "S" shaped course.

The Siamese giant carp tend to turn and soon are deep in a zig zag path near. It's hard to believe that these fish in the water when they are completely weightless and are the fight against absolute power.

My line classical sculpture of a letter "Z" and was pretty sure there was a tent in the end of the line. I knew I had to take my time and playing the fish, unlike the giant Mekong Catfish Carp has a very soft mouth and drag too throw the hook. I decided to back the drag slightly, I used a Magnum 870, with precise lever Boss Drag, very fine adjustments required for resistance is easily without moving the hands of the rod and reel. They are much easier to use than fixed spool fishing especially in the larger specimens.

My goal here was to tire the fish as soon as possible and keep it as far as I could, Siamese giant carp appear to be characterized by giving and turning, then the last minute to make a dash for freedom (there are many bungalows that surround the lake and a pier halved, many fish are lost between the supports and braces).

The fight was ten minutes and I had made progress, the fish was tiring, was not alone, my arms were starting to hurt. After another five minutes of fighting, which made a sharp turn determined, actually brought his hand out of water, was a tent of Siam.

The tent several times more acute, and then typical of these creatures, feigned submission, which had been prepared. I switched to the side and instead of letting the fish run below the hut we met, I moved to the left, increasing the resistance a little and some footwork (which the new ballet classes would handy one day) left the race for the last troubles are frustrated.

The tent made his last attempt to deepen, raising silt that cause many gas bubbles, which is caught in the lake bottom, but this time I too was exhausted, but the fish did not know, Boomsong appeared, with the landing net in hand I was never happier to see him, quickly prepared in the housing for receiving the fish.

We unhooked the line from his mouth and another line is also removed abruptly from a previous battle, which had clearly won.

Carp 25.3Kg Siamese giant weighed 56 pounds, which was quickly returned to the lagoon after a couple of pictures for the album.
