I'll get this one started with a nice 32.5 kilo fish from Pattaya Fishing Park:-

The good looking fella in the picture is obvioulsy the fish, the guy on the right who caught the fish is a friend of mine Bobby and the guy on the left is Khun Opp who I believe is the owner of the lakes son (not 100% sure on that).

Good to see iodine spray being used!

Just so Bobby doesn't get too big headed about his 32.5 kilo Mekong from PFP - here is Martin's 65kg Mekong from Bangsamran Lake:-

Took one minutes worth of line when hooked and about an hour to land.

And an approx 40kg from Pattaya Barra two nights ago on a light match rod, 3500 baitrunner reel, 15lb line and a size 12 hook.

Over an hour to get in, personal best and all the better as nobody knew there was anything this big in the lake!!
