Dear Mega Fishing Thailand, With February being renowned for being a big fish month, and after last years February trip being so successful having broken the Mekong giant catfish all tackle IGFA world record I was keen to return once again to Thailand to battle the mighty leviathans that inhabit one of the worlds most prolific fisheries Bungsamlan.
Its been a while but even with all the going's on at MFT we did get a couple of hours to sneak over the road to the local (Klong) canal/river/swamp. Now in the heat of the dry season the water levels in the canal are low with only a few deep pools and shaded overhangs to explore with our trusty Green viper Killer frog buzz bait.
About a year on and were still at it. No not that, were talking about fishing! Why fishing in Thailand? Well take a look at these amazing photos to see what you can find if you venture outside of the put and take fishing parks of Bangkok. A recent trip out to a medium sized reservoir in southern Thailand made for a great day and the opportunity of a test session with a brand new lure called the Mango Jack Flash bait.
Three months ago, I sent an email to a big bunch of angling friends of mine worldwide telling about a new destination we had just found at that time. Since, we have angled that lake for 43 sessions with visiting anglers, surveying at the same time its potential with various fishing methods and baits.

THE NIGHT THEY LANDED THE BIGGEST FRESHWATER FISH EVER CAUGHT ON ROD AND LINE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. Twenty-three years ago, thirty five (35) Arapaima gigas or Pirarucu, a fish species originally from the Amazon basin, were stocked at Bung Sam Lan Lake, Thailand. A few of them were hooked during the past two decades but rarely was a fish successfully landed by anglers.
This Jungle food photo feature just shows another side of fishing in Thailand. theres no catch and release here. All catches are for the pot. This kind of food is very healthy but not so pleasing to the eye as your average farrang thai food. After sharing this food around its surprisingly delicious so we decided to take a day out to go gathering with the locals in the marshlands and flooded areas arond the homes.
As therains are set in now and the best Snakehead fishing season is upon us M.F.T would just like to round up some of the best Snakehead photos from the past year. There should be much more action over the coming months and hopefully more record catches and great fishing stories right here to share with you on www.megafishingthailand.com.
Its very very good to live away from the sprawling hustle and bustle of city life. Away from the trourist track.People are living off the land and the wet season now brings with it quick change as lands jump start into their yearly cycles of renewal. In and around the newly flooded fields and rice paddy's the local fish are on the move as they search for abundant foods in places unaccessible only w week ago.
I had dreamed for ages to catch a cobra snakehead over the 5 kilos mark. It happened to me. I was already in paradise. I did not need anything else on top of it to make me happier than I already was with this personal snakehead fishing achievement. But the game of life to me is nothing but succeeding with personal challenges one after another, making personal dreams becoming realities, and then closing in the book of my existence a chapter about a particular challenge...
Finally we have the story of the IGFA all tackle world record catch of the famous Giant siamese carp. The biggest carp species in the world. This text has been on our wish list for a long time and now we have it right here, Read on for the full account as it happened written by the captor himself UK angler Mr Terry Mather.

SIAMESE GIANT CARP FISHING in the Heart of Bangkok Thailand,Here is John with a lovely 73lb (33Kg) Siamese giant carp he caught on his last session, Sept. 15 2006 at Bung Sam Lan. He had another big carp hooked up an hour after...
Recently I was sitting on my porch, having a little relax with a nice cup of tea, enjoying the late afternoon sun as it started to slip down behind the Coconut trees, when a guy from next door just wandered over and sat down. We had a little chat in Thai about what we had been doing all day, My Thai language skills are
If you know anything about fishing in Thailand then you will already know about the huge monster fish that are to be caught in some of the Lakes, Reservoirs and Rivers. Im talking about the Mekong Giant Catfish (bla beuk), Siamese Giant Carp (bla caho) and the Giant Snakehead (bla shado). Yes, Thailand is indeed the land of the Giants and the two largest freshwater fish in the world can be caught here allthough one is imported from Brazil.
Taken for a Six Hour ride by a 100KG (220lb) Freshwater Stingray.Each time the ray decided to stick on the bottom, there was no way we could move it, not even for a single inch. When it was crawling slowly on the river's muddy bottom, we would pump it like if it was a matter of life and death but without being able to lift the ray vertically a single inch.
