Hi Vishal / Derek
Calabose is also know as 'The Kanoshi' labeo Calabasu.

Kalibose is what the Bengalis call the Calabanse

I have seen your image gallery... good pic.. is that 'sea fishing' in India.

If you are reffering to the Cobi, then that must be Fred's fish caught at Vijay Durg.
The other salty on the forum is Bobby(does not post pictures of what he catches i notice).
Plus there are Chandy's catches which are off the coast of the USof A

Owen

Nice cast Owen ..pretty good lure too

I don't have many pictures to post because I must catch some fish first :) I have not been fishing lately.

Too busy searching for a Female Eclectus Parrot.

Hi Vishal,

Welcome to IA. It's nice to see what other anglers are doing across the country. That's a fantastic catla you have there, my one and only catla was about 20 times smaller

Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Mighty Marlin.

Hi Owen,

This one’s for you, my largest fish on film and perhaps the largest one I have ever caught:



Being the eternal optimist my glass is always half full or 1/100th’s full in this case.

I take solitude from the fact that had I caught this little bugger 5 years later it would be some kind of record for the location. So you can say I released a 40lb fish, when I let this guy go..

Hey Bobby,
quit bullshitting us and get those pictures posted quick mate.
By the way where was that picture taken ?

Bobby,

The bait you're holding in your hand's a bit small ain't it?

Hi Owen,

That place is Carter Rd. Bandra, Bombay about 15 mins walk (from the road) to Fred's place.

I seriously do not have too many pictures as I am the one with the camera taking them almost everytime. And in the other ones there are some introveted persons who do not want them selves splashed on the net.

The last time I was fishing seriously was August last year. I don't get too much of a chance to fish here. That is why I was really looking forward to the trip this month that I had to postpone/cancel.

Here is another one for you Owen, caught in Hong Kong Harbour, Wanchai, Convention Center:



MM, that was not bait something that I really caught!! , so was the one above. A couple of months ago I had taken the kids spinning and was foul-hooking these same fish at regular intervals, there were so many of them. But there was nothing to feed off them..

Will have to get you to catch some chilwa for us Bobby.

Hi Owen,

It's been a while. Hope all is well with you? Owen that's an excellent idea! Now we just have to get Bobby to come Mahseer fishing with us, it'll be such a relief to have our bait taken care of

Hey MM,
Where have you been ?
Wet a line yet ?
How are you placed early december ?

Owen

Hey Bobster .... get a bigger camera .... when are youre dates in Mumbai ... are they fixed so that I can plan my dates too .... Carter road ... near the Zhen Don .... and thats a real small grouper

I see one tip, if it tastes of Kerosene, it's loaded with Mercury.

All the best mate, I am from Bombay as well...

Hi Bobby, That is a 'gutsy' photo of you with the prize fish! You had the right rod for it judging from the slow taper. You seemed to be enjoying life none the less. I dare say the fish was a bonus! Good one mate!!
Cheers,
Glenn

Yes Glenn, I have been told several times "SIZE DOES NOT MATTER". and I believe it now

Hi Bobby,
Now that youve told me that ur from Mumbai can i take a guess... that pic us shot was it at Manori beach..somewhere close to the boats.

And how about meeting up... may be for a drink.

Vishal
