First fish of the day on Bung Sam Lan from Bangkok in Thailand, I caught it by suspending a method feeder at a depth of 3 metres from the surface. The area I fished was 7 metres deep and the ground bait was rice flour with strawberry flavouring.

Catfishing in Asia

I have enjoyed lots of fishing expeditions travelling to various countries throughout the world, including Brazil, France, Germany, India, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

On my travels I have managed to catch nineteen different species of Catfish, plus three different Albino Wels. Some of the species of fish that I have caught are: Arapaima, Freshwater Stingray, Goonch, Mahseer, Piranha, Amazon Redtail, Giant Mekong Catfish, Asian Redtail, Chao Phraya, Tiger Shovelnose Catfish, Tarpon, Tigerfish and Vundu.
