Its uploaded already. People who dont have patience please jump to part 2. Part 1 is 9 minutes of fight :)

Santy, your reel looked like it was doing 2000 rpm LOL, Was the carp on steroids?

Well capyured the vid/fish

DeZZ

Great video santosh. I say credit of making this film goes to Babloo. Thanx Babloo, a job very well done.

Regards,

Ali.

Non-anglers can jump to part 2..

I second that Ali, Thanks to Babloo bhai for recording the fight.

Well said I should have put it that way

I remember this thing that I read on the internet, one of the lady desperately wants to read a suspense novel, so she goes to the library and borrows this novel, when she opens the book and whist on the page that introduces the characters some had written "He is the murderer"

LOL

Wow, Nicely done and very clear Video,

Thanks Babloo Bhai for the vid and nice fight Santosh..

Keep on doing it guys.

-Inder

congrats Santosh, Babloo bhai great coverage excellent work done

amazing..... cant say anything else....

Thanks Guys.. :))

Excellent footage guys, really super. Had fun watching it.

Bops

Santosh I see a beer belly in the end of part-2 clip
I guess the carp must be heavy on beer to beat the summer heat of Mumbai

Just saw the entire film What a fight mate. I loved the way Ali admonishes you for wanting to touch the reel when the monster was running.

Cheers to Babloobhai. Fantastic camera work there.
Cheers to Alibhai. The director and action coordinator of this epic film.

And the biggest round of applause for Santosh. Well done mate. This is one for the fireplace when your grandchildren come and pester you for stories.

Congrats Santosh & Ali Bhai

Saravanan

Great stuff, what an amazing fight. The mouth is so large, wow.

Congrats Santo & Ali !

......will first watch the video & then comment. If you dont hear from my, its probably cos I am speechless

regards,
Keyur

I hope I live that long..

Thanks everyone.. you are right M'ken, when Ali is around he wont let me palm the reel.. .. But I did cheat him .. if you watch the video again, you will see me increasing the drag when he was not looking at me.. the salty fisherman within gets in active mode when the fish goes for a run

Hi Santosh,
Great catch!!. Santosh, you were great, the way you played the fish, and your patience.
Ali, you are the perfect director, and full marks for your calmness!!
Congrats guys.
Syd.

Thanks Mr. Sydney.

I and Ali have been fishing together for a long time now, he is pretty good in predicting what i might do next

All three of us were enjoying the fight. That is what fishing is, enjoy the experience and not get tied down by expectation or unrealistic desire of landing the biggest fish every time you go fishing. Whenever i am at Powai, i carry two rods, a med-heavy setup and another a very light setup (5lb or 10 lb). If the big ones don’t bite, I bring out my light tackle and enjoy small mrigals, tilapia and small carps or no fish at times.

Santosh

Hey thanks for the great video enjoyed every bit of it.
Great work by all three of you and specially babbloo bhai (not taking it away from the rest) but the filming was awsome. best i have ever seen.santosh your calmness and the fight deserve an applause. i wish i could be so regular with fishing...

Thanks Rookie.. this is not THE best time to fish in powai.. .. waithing for the rains and fishing with worms for mrigal. Got a 2-6 lb rod, size 1000 reel with 5 lb line.

with 1-3 kg mrigals taking the bait almost every min. the action is amazing.

I agree ......

congrats..........

pranav..

Hi Santosh,
Cool fish, cool fight and to top it.........a cool angler in you.
I have seen guys yanking out a 20 kg fish within minutes with 60lb braid, max drag.........and so on.
But this is angling.I loved the video. I am really impressed.
What was the line strength you used?

Ravi

this is my first katla of 2 KG after loosing 3 biggies due to lack of technique in landing. well i have a very bad experience in tackling this particular fish. everytime i hooked this fish, it takes to the ground and after a short run it takes a cover into the weed and free itself through it ( since we have a lot of weed in futala lake nagpur). i don't know what to do in this situtation)







Place: futala lake nagpur
hook bait: rice bran with maida dough
setup: bait casting with 2 hooks attached
Line: 30 MM
rod: telescopic berkley
reel: bong reel karmakar bro. calcutta made(very reliable)

regards
Manish

Congrats on your first Catla, Manish.

Ravi

congratulations Manish,

A very nice fish. Have patience while fighting the fish and you will land it.

Regards,

Ali.

Thanks Ravi,



20 LB braid.. with size 6 hook. Carp fishing is lot different than saltwater fishing.

Carp fishing is an art. No ways you can yank a big catla.

Santy,
i was seeing the fight through the camera. After seeing the video i must say that you have done something extraordinary. i have seen people hooking 10 ,12 kg katla hybrid or rohu opening there boat going after fish sometime able or sometime not able to take out the fish.The way you fought the fish and the way Ali bhai guided the whole fight was something extraordinary.Hats off to ali bhai , he has change the way as well as thinking of my fishing .
Tight lines, hope i will get somemore chances to make another improved video.

Bablu Bhai,

I like it when Ali Bhai goes with the landing net and is ready to get the fish but then it makes a run and then Ali is back with his hands on his cheek LOL. Good patience shown chief.

DeZZ

Hi Santosh,

Great Video. Enjoyed watching it. Nice fight to land a great fish.

Jeen

Tatoos father watched the complete video with lot of interest till the last part when the fish was released. He was disappointed that such a fish was released. Like a true angler Tatoo tried and explained that the fish was released so as it will grow up to 40 Kg. and then it will be caught again. "Who will wait till then" was the angry outburst from his father.

(Sorry buddy, could not resist)

Regards,

Ali.

Tatoo which the sailfish one ? Alibhai?

What a video ! What a fish! What a fight ! Paisa vasool !

what are you smoking??

Tatoo, is Tat's. Search him on the forum..

yes I am ! the cuban one

no need to search anywhere, Its easier to catch him at the DUM BIRYANI in my neighbourhood and one Party is pending

Alibhai is still in the nasha of Santo's Catla ..... he must be camped on the machan in the heat puffinf away ..... so when is the next gang bang in Powai for the biggest catla

Fredd,

Leave the computer and pick up your rod and start tying hooks. When are you coming man. You know you are always welcome. (Except 14th August Night with your Radio )

Regards,

Ali.

This Saturday and Sunday for sure .... have to clear up some pending issues with the club too .... should be there from 3pm onwards ... Will u be there ??

I need one of your new feeder rigs Alibhai ....

If I will be in Mumbai then for sure. In case, the keys of the Machan will be in club and you fish from there.

Regards,

Ali.

Thanks Jeen & Freddie ...

Mr. Lion.. Tat's (Tato) is Tathagata...

Sure Fredd,

In case I am not there, my rod is inside the cupboard . Cut the feeder from it and use that. That one is totally balanced.

Regards,

Ali.
