INDIANANGLER

Hello friendz!!!!
I am a professional fishery graduate(B. F. Sc.). Never heard much about mahseer. But wen i came in contact to an angler, who was crazy about mahseer, I saw so many of you here. Still, i know only the names of gamefishes from texts. Can U help me know about:

How many of u are crazy about golden MAHSEER and why???

Hi there,

I will certainly rate Golden Mahseer as the best fresh water game fish because :-

1. Due to its fighting characters.
2. Due to the size this fish can grow.
3. The terrain where you target this fish in itself a joy to walk.
4. You can target this fish with all fishing techniques. Bait Fishing, Spinning, Trawling and Fly fishing can all be used to target this fish. Whatever is your preferred technique, you can use against this fish.
5. In a misty morning, when the sun is rising over the horizon, and the colour of the water is like molten gold, you see this fish rising over the water and that alone is an experience one can cherish for life long, not to mention the flicker of gold chasing your spoon, the express hit, fish standing vertically half out of water, shaking its head to dislodge the un wanted spoon, the maddening rush and your reel singing---- It can only be understood by experiencing one good fight.

There are thousand more reasons but I think the above is more than sufficient to make this fish no. ONE.

Regards,

Ali.

“There he stood, the Mahseer off the Poonch, beside whom the Tarpon is a Herring and he who catches him can say he is a fisherman.” Rudyard Kipling.I think that says it all and as ALI says there are more then a thousand reasons to make it Fish No 1.

I wonder how many Tarpon Rudyard Kipling caught...

I have not caught any big saltwater fishes except breams, but the mahseer is the best.
