Snakehead, Haruan, Murrel, channa marulius of India.

Dear Friends

My friend Michael has caught another great fish. Am sure there are many anglers in Hyderabad and India who aspire to catch atleast on snakehead.

I will brief about the bait and how to catch a murrel / channa marulius / snakehead using a spinner bait.

Thanks

3.4 kg Murrel caught in Manjeera River

Hi,

This murrel / Snakehead was caught using a spinner at Manjeera river at (not to be disclosed) location. Caught by my friend James.

See what James said

"To top off the trip an amazing snake head which i was luckey with as while it rushed in to the Reeds i pulled him out with so much of force that my Line had snapped but thank to Ben who had the other end with him and thanks to the snake head which landed just behind me could not land him as the place was full of reeds and very high water levels."

Certainly it is a memorable fish for James. Congrats James for such a lovely fish and wish more to come.

Cheers

Caught 10-Snakehead /Murrel/Haruan Fishing.

Dear Friends,

Hi,

We planned a trip on Sunday to a location near Hyderabad.

We were 4 anglers and caught 10 snakehead fishes on 25th December 2011.

All the fishes were released back in the water.

Find attached a video that shows a snakehead being released plus you can see another snakehead on left hand side in the water. We released all the fishes after the photo session. All the images are attached below.

Happy New Year !

Cheers

Snakehead, Haraun, Murrel.

It was a real surprise to catch a murrel which got hooked on its back.

Normally a murrel of this size will have strong scales and skin. Getting hooked in this way is incidental.


We inquired with our friends at Hyd caught a 400g murrel which got hooked in stomach.

In our experience of 20 years we caught so many wallago attu getting hooked in even tentacles....but this is the first time that a murrel was caught like this.

Here is the link to the video.

This was caught by my friend Mr. Iqbal.

We would like know similar experiences from our fellow anglers.
