 Khao Laem Dam - Vast Freshwater Ocean in Thailand's Western Jungle
 Vicious, aggressive, violent, ferocious & merciless are by no means exaggerations to describe the fury of the snakehead as it launches at the lure with intent to rip and slash it apart. The snakehead is not comparable to the pike, bass or barramundi – this predator is more dangerous and angry, as if it were possessed. When holding a snakehead up for the cameras, you will hear a ‘chop, chop, chop’ sound – the sound which comes from the snakeheads jaws as it snaps them open & shut. It is for these personality traits, these natural instincts, these survival skills, these predatory assets which makes the snakehead a beautiful fish, a beautiful creature to be respected as the perfect freshwater predatory fish. To understand, fear & respect the snakehead in-turn brings the most exciting, scary, heart-racing, thrilling & rewarding fishing experiences imaginable.
JUNGLE PERCH – DECEIVING MORPHOLOGY
 The Jungle Perch lives uo to its name , like the Perch this fairly friendly looking fish will attack and hunt in groups.
The jungle perch also known as the hampala barb and shares morphology similarity to the roach or rudd, but that is as far as the similarities go. Do not be fooled by the apparently harmless looks of the jungle perch, it’s shiny silver coated scales, it’s gorgeous red fins & it’s seemingly herbivore type mouth are all very deceiving. The jungle perch hunt in two ways, the first very similar to the snakehead they will be solitary or in small numbers hunting not far from margins, bays, weeds & snags. The second, unlike snakehead the jungle perch will hunt in open water in huge shoals working together to herd prey fish upto the surface where they mercilessly strike hard and fast at large numbers of prey fish. This hunting style is so ferocious and fast that not only is it a visible, water erupting attack; but it is loud and frightening too.INDIAN CARP \ ROHU FISHING IN THAILAND AT KHAO LAEM DAM.
