  1. One thing's for sure, each team had a very enormous and delicious lunch. LOL! Having fun and stiff competition is only part of what fishing is all about, by the end of the day, it’s all about your passion for it. I hope it's not too late to say this: Congratulations to all the teams, especially to the champions. I know you all did your best! :)

    1. Haha! That's quite hilarious, Melanie. With huge fish like that, this competition can feed a whole village. LOL! :P As hard as it may seem, catching fish as big as those could be very easy. Like anything else, you have to be prepared for it. Studying the fish’s habit -- breeding grounds, mating season, what attracts them and what doesn’t – can really give you an edge once you have your bait and hook on the water.
