Chand Bhai - Catla, murrel/snakehead and other carps.

Dear Friends,

Let me introduce you all with our friend and team member Mr. Chand bhai aka Chand bhai batterywale.

He is a very humble and seasoned angler with repute. With him he has record of catching huge fishes, specially carps like Rohu, catla, mirgal at Umada Sagar - a freshwater lake on the outskirts of Hyderabad.

He also has good record of catching Murrels / Snakehead. Have a look at the images and you'll know it.

He has more than 4 decades of experience in Angling. For us he is like a senior and guide.

I am trying to put few of the snaps from his album. Very soon i will post more pictures about his catches.

Cheers

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

Murrel, Haruan, Snakehead - Nagarjun Sagar

Dear friends,

Am publishing my old photos. We caught these fishes November 2010. Thought will share them with you all. We caught them at Nagarjun Sagar backwaters.

The fist two murrles were caught in at Nagarjun sagar and the second one caught by my friend was from a lake.

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.
