Ponga - Red Tail cat fish of 18 kg caught at Srisailam

Dear Friends

This fish was caught on spinning on a very thin line. Caught by Lin D Silva at Srisailam.

It take a great talent and effort in landing such monster fishes on light tackle.

Lin is indeed one of the seasoned anglers of Hyderabad.

Dear Friends,

We reported this very long back to many people plus on this blog sometime in 2013.

Large number of Tilapias are alreay a threat to our existing fishes plus these piranhas are going to make situation worst.

Government has to take some necessary steps to control the breeding of such fishes and ensure a balanced eco system.

Tight Lines
