I am posting this image on behalf of my friend Vickram who was out at Beemeshwari ( tiger pool) last weekend.
Looks like this in one of the first big catches of the season...a 35 pounder..
It was caught using 30lb line with no6/0 mustard hook and ragi as bait using the Abu C7000.

Pictures mate -- pictures -- reports we have many --but pictures a few ... Mighty --- my screensaver ?

It looks like serious rain could be on its way here.
Jeez please hold back!

Mighty M / Bobster - Please send him pics.. freddie's losing it.. He's desperate now..

Owen - grown men dont cry !!

Even fish drunk on ground bait floating belly up ... like they do in Kolkatta would do

yup !!

Even Arowanos moving aimlessly across an aquarium with a price tag of 75k on its gills, will do !!

Go catch a fisherwoman

My prayers were heard, it's clearing up

Hey Owen - Where the fluff are you going ?? The boss just cancelled your leave..

Gav ... button up or you might be looking at a lot of muddy water

Belli Boy,

Tell your friend its a really nice fish...

Lucky guy!!!

Mighty Marlin.

Can any of you guys tell us if a mahseer larger than 70lbs has been taken from the Cauvery since 2003?

Where have all the mighty ones gone? This is one for the forum. I was guide and consulting angler to WASI for the fishing camp set up for anglers from abroad 1981 and I evolved a strict regimen for 'catch and release'. The practice was discontinued by Col Naidu who succeeded Air Cdr Suri as administrator after the latters demise.

MM...good to see you are alive!!! hope all is going good for you....Yeah lucky Vikram....considering he was on the river for just a couple of hours....

Yes Rustam, a mere crore. I suspect it was more. Surprisingly, the members who were on the governing council during the 'loot maar'continued to serve on the council after the crime was discovered.

Nobody can tell us what became of the records. I guess that is the reason for them not wanting any of the old gov council members like Sraosh Printer, former secy, and me.

A vicious circle exists and there are wheels within wheels.

Thats WASI.

Don

Don,

Some pretty serious insinuations there.

Obviously there are a few things about WASI that seem to be annoying you. However, rather than bringing them up one by one on different threads, this being the third, why don't you start a new topic in the General Discussion section. I'd rather not discuss this matter on topics that have no relation to the subject.

Also, if you feel so strongly about it you could bring it up at the forthcoming AGM - 15th December, Bangalore Golf Club, 7:30 p.m..

Hi Don,
I completely agree with you on all the points that you have made.
I belive that only the softest of cord should be used as a stringer, ( none of those nylon ropes), and the fish kept on a stringer only for as long as it takes to revive it.
Unfortunately there are just a few gillies with the required skills, most of them are converted poachers who could do with training on fish handling skills.
We try to pass on whatever we have learned over the years to those we cross paths with, and hope to make a difference.
I do hope that we can meet up sometime in the near future.
Regards
Owen
