WOW! i wish! one of these days. I am sure it is expensive to go.

is the last pic one of those mekong giant cats?

Nice fish and one Trip of a Lifetime! Good job.

Plus #1,

No sir that is a Choa Phraya or dog eater catfish as it's sometimes called, which is named after the river that runs right through Bangkok. Tomorrow we fish for Mekongs.

Also it's not as expensive as you think. Check into it or message me about it.

That looks like an incredible trip!

Awesome multi species great trip

Striped catfish. Very similar to Mekong but doesn't get as big and has a faint strip along the lateral line. They are more predatory than a Mekong.


Giant Mekong. Named after the river that runs through Thailand. This one was 100 pounds, no where near as big as they get but after fighting them this is as big as I care to tackle.

My wives biggest Mekong.

Black eared catfish caught in the wild Chao Phraya river. They only get about 25 pounds so this 6 pounder is respectable.

Not exactly sure what kind of barb this is.

This one is a red tail tinfoil barb.

Nice Mekong's wish we had barbs in Texas they look like they could be awesome catfish/gar bait and is the second fish a pacu under the redtail?

Yes, sorry should've listed them. Amazon redtail, pacu, Asian redtail, Chao Phraya catfish, rohu, Julliens golden carp, and Chao Phraya again.

Archer fish. These spit water at bugs that are on plants and trees overhanging the river and knock them into the water to eat.

The archer and the pacu remind me of my childhood my mother bought me a 250 gallon aquarium I had three archers one knife fish and a big redbellied pacu named lurch

Super

Fantastic thread.
