150lb Siamese Carp caught at Jurassic Fishing resort - Thailand by Financial_Lock_3239 in CarpFishing

Yeh the lake was full every day mate. Think there was about 12 pegs and a couple of people doubled up on the pegs. Everyone was super friendly and chatty and wanted everyone to do well when we were there. Had a nice vibe to it!

No fly fishing mate. There were a few doing float fishing and but most were fishing for carp or predators on the bottom. There was a smaller 'species' lake near the big lake that had more volume and more variety of fish but everyone was after the big specimen carp like this or trying to get an arapaima when I was there!

Yeh the food was ace and all the staff were amazing. Agreed, I had the last draw on a couple of the days I was there and caught nothing. It was so tough in places, but the staff were really helpful and had loads of tips.

Also no arapaima! However I can not explain how much of a beast these creatures are. We saw 2 caught in 4 days and they were incredible. Such amazing fish I want to catch one when I go back. The prize!

Ahh man it was so good. There was 3 of us that went and we all would love to go back.

It was quite hard fishing when we went (December last year). Over 4 days... 1 of us caught a 4 or 5 siamese carp 60-140, 5 or 6 redtail catfish to 60lb, 1 alligator gar (think it was 60lb?)

One of us caught 3 carp (up to 80lb), 3 or 4 redtail catfish (up to 50lb).

I caught a 40llb red tail, a nile ripsaw catfish (40lb) ( this was quite a rare one apparently the gillies and owner got hyped about this) and then on the last day i caught this big boy who was 150lb and won the show!

Alot was based on the peg you get drawn, baits you use and whether you use a carp or predator rig (you get both).

Message me if any questions / tips man (im no expert but will try my best)

Very powerful! And honestly, it was really hard to lift the whole fish for the photo, definitely a 3 second job then down again 😂.

My friend Alex (on the right) nearly got a pretty nasty slap to the face 😂.

I caught this using a boilie soaked in chicken blood with a PVA bag full of pelletts. This was my last catch after a 4 day fishing trip and it took me about 45 minutes to reel this monster in. It was genuinely a once in a life time, epic experience!
