Semakau trip!

Stayed over Yun Wei's house last night. was thinking about the competition whole night long. couldn't sleep until like 3 in the morning! lol! had to wake up at 5.40am in the morning. set off in Team Brown's car towards Pasir Panjang Ferry Terminal. The weather was horrible and we were telling ourself that its a bad day to fish.We took a ferry towards Semakau Island and it took us around 20 mins to get there. We had a short briefing once we arrived on the island and then, we were transported to our luring spot via bus.

Once we reach there, we had to wait for the weather to die down which it did not the whole day. So we were like we didn't pay 50 bucks to come here and freeze to death so we jus went ahead and lure in the freezing rain! heh. Yun wei hooked up at awesome size Queenie but lost the fight to it in the end. damn it. nearly could won 3rd place.

After a while of running towards the shelter and going down back to fish, i finally got my 1st hook up around 11.40am. was just cranking and cranking when suddenly i felt a small blow to the lure. so i stop suddenly and give it a twitch and BOOM! fish on babe! hehehe. the fight was superb! took me like a whole 10 mins to win the GT. and finally it was bogaed and it was landed. everyone was cheering and amazed that in such weather, a GT may be caught let alone a fish.

In all, it was a wonderful experience. One of Dave's friend got 2nd place for a 3.5lb GT and Nick Matthew(ymh) got 3rd place for a Queenie. here are some pics.
