I am not a big fan of this place. As the first and also the last time I visited this place was like 2 years back, it was known to be a place where people came and went home empty handed. Captain get to convince me otherwise by giving me the latest update about Tofu pond. He is confident that we, or at least one of us would not go home empty handed.
This nice little fishing pond is now situated beside a highway linking Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Selangor, the Latar highway. Strangely enough, the place existed way earlier than the highway and oddly, you cannot use the highway to get here. The place was also covered by a local chinese daily some years back.
Well, we arrived there around 8 pm and another friend of ours Clarence joined us. Bait we use was the local favourite buns and smelly tofu.
An hour or so, Clarence saw his rod started to bend and it seemed that a Mekong cat fish took the bait. Here's the video of the scene at the last 3 minutes when we landed the fish. Don't be surprised as I was unhooking the fish at the tail as somehow this poor fella snagged his own tail on Clarence's hooks and it took him nearly 20 minutes to get the fish landed.
Shortly after, captain got a visitor at the other end of his line which fancied his stinky tofu. All hail the Pacu King. This must be his 1,000th Pacu.
Well... as for me. I guess there is a reason why I don't like the pond. And I am pretty sure the pond feels the same way. Fishing at the same spot, with the same rig and same bait, somehow my luck just doesn't cut it here. I will be back.
For sure.
And here's the location of the place.
