Hi All,

 

Is it okay if I want to share some of fishes that I have caught at my hometown, Malaysia... maybe some of it you see it for the first time.... all small... but size doesn't matter... and I'm so sorry, some of the species, I don't know the english name...

 

Let start with the most fish that I have caught...

 

tarpon_zps3a663515.jpg

The pacific tarpon... live in freshwater... small tarpon species

 

haruan_zps5b7b2574.jpg

Haruan... one the snakehead species...

 

puyu_zps30a166ef.jpg

This fish is called puyu... small fish... average size 10-15cm for the adult... if you're managed to catch more than 15cm can be consider monster already...

 

Next is the only salwater species I've ever caught. Most of the time I like to go for freshwater fishing....

Baby MJ

Kerong... I'm sorry... I have no idea what is the english for this one...

 

And next... the most hardest fish to catch... and I think it is going to be once in a life time. I don't think I'm going to catch others in the future... and I have went through a lot of difficulty just to catch this fish and I have study about this fish diet almost 3 months... and of course the hardest part is to design the fly pattern for this fish...

Sepat Siam

and Sepat Ronggeng.... I'm sorry I have no idea what is the english name for this Sepat Species...

 

Actually I have another 2 species which are the running water spicies... but I couldn't find the picture... will update once I have found the picture...

 

Hopefully you'll enjoy with this...

 

Thanks and Cheers....

The Baby MJ looks like a cichlid, but they are all freshwater, and you said saltwater.

Whooo hoooo, Sham !!!!

That's what I am talking about !!!!

Lots of people here from other parts of the world, very few pictures of "local" fish we don't see here.

Except for the tarpon and the snakehead, those ALL look like they'd be beautiful additions to an aquarium.

The Puyu looks like an Amazon Archer Fish ... very similar body shape.

What does "MJ" stand for? Looks like a sea bass or surf perch.

The Kerong and the Sepats are beautiful fish.

Thank you ... very much ... for posting those pictures !!!

I think MJ is the saltwater species... but they like to find food in freshwater... they can live both on saltwater and freshwater like baramundi...

You're right.... I looked it up. Mangrove Jack is a snapper (similar to our Florida Mangrove Snapper). All beautiful fish. I also agree they'd look perfect in an aquarium.

Hi,

 

I've done some research and found the fish name at fishbase.org. You may go to the web if you wish to read more about it by searching using the scientific name...

 

malay / english / scientific name

 

Ikan Bulan / Indo-pacific Tarpon / Megalops cyprinoides

Haruan / Striped Snakehead / Channa striata

Puyu / Climbing Perch / Anabas testudineus

Siakap Merah / Mangrove jack / Lutjanus argentimaculatus

Kerong / Jarbua Terapon / Terapon jarbua

Sepat siam / Snakeskin gourami / Trichopodus pectoralis

Sepat ronggeng / Three spot gourami / Trichopodus trichopterus

 

Cheers...

ohmy.png I should've recognized the gourami. Now that you've named them, the body shape and pelvic/anal fins ... we DO have those in aquariums !!!

 

Thank you for looking those up, Sham.

Very cool to see you catch them on flys. What where you using?

Here's one from pyramid lake last week:

Istripbuggers, it appears you weren't the only one to catch your first salmon species. The local lakes are being drained in response to the ongoing drought here, and, although unfortunate, are providing some new opportunities. One is the fact that many lakes around here contain Kokanee, and seeing many of the feeder creeks are exposed in the lakebeds, their spawning migrations are quite vulnerable. This was my first experience with an anadromous fish on this scale and I was amazed at the amount of fish in the creeks. Enjoy!

 

 

Thank You and Tight Lines,

Carson LeBoeuf

what kind of flies would you use for pollock? i got some on a regular rod but never thought to try my fly rod.

They love anything slender and sandeel like. Pinks and green seem to do well. So long as you have a sinking line or something like a long quick sink tip you should get into them.
