Hi Manish,

Good show on the fish. 1 suggestion though... carry a plain car rubber foot mat with you next time. Fish and gravel don't mix!!! It does a lot of damage to the fish and it really decreases their chances of survival!

@ All members of IA: If release is the aim, the idea is to do minimum damage to the fish. If you'd prefer fish and chips, then a quick knock to the back of the head will adminster the coup de grace. Just leaving it on the banks is akin to holding a guys' head underwater. Think about it.


Hope you catch a monster soon.

Cheers,
IG

hi guys,

For the first time i decided to go for murrels @ pench dam as the water level was too low and the mahseer fishing was tough. after a very hard work for around 5 hours because the dam is too big i got this murrel which is 1 of my best. A 6 kg cover giant

there is lot more to come from pench and believe me they are big

I like the size of the fish. Very Nice catch. Hard work always pays off.
Can u pls advice wat type of retrieves do u need for this kind of fish?
Wat r the ideal habitat for these fishes?
If i had to visit a new place wat r the indications that this place would have this fish around?
I have seen many pics of this fish and most of them havbeen caught on spinners, which other lures work for these fish?
If u dont mind can u show a pic of the spinner u used or probably pm me the pics only if u wish to?

Regards
Ralph

@thanks all for ur kind comments.
@ ralph...snakeheads most of time prefer to stay in shallow water in weedy areas. If u are targetting murrels u have to see the side the lakes for there feeding signs.
for ur info this fish was caught on homemade spoon and i have posted the pics of that spoon earlier somewhere in the murrel section.
i prefer to retrieve spoon slow while targetting murrels side by side of the lake.
in case of any doubt u can ask me...will be very happy to help.

MANISH

Hi guys,

This is a murrel year for me except some of the small mulleys i caught accidentally while spinning for snakeheads. caught some of the big murrels but was not able to beat my own record of 5 kgs. lost 3 very big murrels and finally i am deciding to end the murrel year prior to the monsoon. Hope are still on :-)

Hi guys,
Some people after seeing my catches named me as murrel king but the real king who keep an eye on his territory is murrel. Murrel is a real warrior from my own experience, there is no point comparing it to any fish else.


Here are some of my recent catches :D
