Angler catches same giant carp he hooked 14 years ago but this time it's DOUBLE the size

Haven't we met before? Angler catches same giant carp he hooked 14 years ago but this time it's DOUBLE the size

• Angler Tim Cosens caught the same common carp he caught back in 1999
• He cast his reel from the same spot at Strawberry Fields fishery in Kent
• The fisherman recognised the fish's same distinctive bald patch on one side

By Alex Ward

  This huge carp has literally taken the bait again after it was caught by the same angler, 14 years after their first encounter.
Angler Tim Cosens was surprised to see an ‘old friend’ on the end of his fishing reel when he caught the same common carp at Strawberry Fields fishery in Tunbridge Wells, Kent that he had reeled in back in 1999.
Photographed with the impressive 26lbs carp back then, Mr Cosens posed for the same picture with the same fish, now doubled in size - a huge 54lbs 12ozs.

An 'old friend' takes the bait again: Angler Tim Cosens poses with the same common carp he caught back in 1999 which has since doubled in size

While the keen angler has fished elsewhere since his 1999 catch, he returned to the lake and cast his rod from the same spot, hoping for similar success.
After three hours, he got just that when he felt a nibble. He spent the next 40 minutes reeling in the carp only to discover that the fish had the same distinctive bald patch halfway down one side as his previous catch, 14 years before.

 

Mr Cosens, a builder, said: ‘I used to fish at the lake years ago but moved on to somewhere else after I had caught most of the carp in there.
‘I decided to pop back recently and returned to the same swim where I first caught the carp at 26lbs 14 years ago.

The first catch: When he caught the fish back in 1999 it weighed 26lbs. He noticed it had a distinctive bald patch halfway down one side, the very same unique mark he recognised on the carp he caught recently

‘I was there for three hours when I had some luck but it wasn't until I got the fish into the net that I saw its bald patch on one side.
‘It was a big fish back then and it's obviously even bigger now.
‘I was really chuffed because at 54lbs it was a personal best catch for me. It was nice seeing the same fish again, like meeting up with an old friend.’
Mr Cosens returned the carp, which is estimated to be about 20-years-old, back into the water after their reunion.
It was caught at the 1.5 acre fishery which is home to more than 150 fish.

Amazing AmazonBKK Bangkok

 

Kali ini jelajah saya ke negara Thailand bertujuan untuk memancing ikan exotic yang berasal dari Sungai Amazon dan Sungai Mekong. Dahulu kunjungan saya pasti di Bungsamran Fishing pond ketika datang ke Thailand, tetapi kali ini saya mengunjungi salah satu kolam popular di bandar Bangkok iaitu Kolam AmazonBKK.

Kolam ini menyediakan pelbagai jenis ikan exotic terutamanya yang berasal dari sungai Amazon dan Mekong. Walupun begitu ikan Arapaima merupakan target kumpulan kami. Bkkguy atau dikenali sebagai John bertanggungjawap membawa kami ke sana selaku guide kami. Beliau yang berpengalaman luas memancing di sekitar Thailand akan memberi tunjuk ajar kepada kumpulan kami yang pertama kali bertandang di kolam ini. 

Di sini, kami hanya dibenarkan memancing menggunakan teknik casting dan fly fishing sahaja. Teknik dasar atau pelampung dilarang sama sekali. Ketika kami tiba di kolam ini, kelihatan banyak ikan bersaiz monster bermain-main di permukaan air. Memandangkan tuan punya kolam memberi ikan talapia sebagai diet makanan di kolam ini, penggunaan gewang yang menyerupai ikan talapia amat laku di sini. Kami memilih gewang berjenama giron sebagai pertaruhan kami.

Menurut John, awal pagi merupakan waktu terbaik untuk memancing ikan arapaima. Ikan ini amat aktif mencari makanan pada waktu ini. Apabila hari mula panas terik pada waktu tengahari, ikan arapaima akan menjadi pasif.

 

Halim, orang pertama yang membaling lure menjadi orang pertama mendaratkan arapaima

 Lagi ikan arapaima

Hari semakin panas, jam menunjukkan sudah pukul 10.00 am (11.00am Malaysia Time). Ikan Arapaima mula menunjukkan tanda-tanda menjauhi kumpulan kami. Banyak kali kejadian putus dan lucut di kalahkan oleh kekuatan ikan Arapaima ketika ini.

Saya yang tewas dikalahkan oleh ikan arapaima.

Masih meneruskan aktiviti casting tanpa putus asa.

Selepas kami selesai lunch, ikan Arapaima tidak lagi kelihatan di permukaan air. Segala teknik kami gunakan untuk memujuk ikan ini memakan lure kami tetapi tidak berjaya. Walaupun begitu, ikan Aligator gar dan Amazon red tail Catfish menjadi penganti membaham lure yang kami hulurkan.

 Dan akhirnya saya berjaya memperolehi lesen Alligator gar di Kolam AmazonBkk

Hari semakin petang, rakan-rakan lain sudah berjaya menaikan pelbagai jenis ikan di sini. Saya cuma memperolehi seekor Alligator Gar sebagai lesen. Tetapi saya masih tidak berputus asa untuk meneruskan casting di setiap pelusuk kolam ini. Usaha saya membuahkan hasil apabila rod saya ditarik kuat oleh ikan.

Tekanan amat kuat dirasai

Akhirnya ikan Amazon Catfish seberat 8kg berjaya saya perolehi. 

Ikan ini menjadi penutup trips saya selepas seharian memancing di Kolam AmazonBkk. Insyaallah saya akan kembali semula ke sini memandangkan saya masih tidak mempunyai lesen ikan arapaima yang telah lama saya idamkan.

KAKIPANCING4U hari ini ingin berkongsi dengan semua para kaki pancing yang berada di seluruh negara iaitu mengenai perkara-perkara yang akan membuatkan kaki pancing akan menjadi bengang atau berang.

Antara perkara-perkara yang dimaksudkan tersebut adalah:

1. Dah lama duduk memancing di sesuatu tempat ikan seekor pun tak dapat tapi bila orang lain je pegang joran yang dia pegang tak sampai seminit dapat ikan.
2. Datang memancing sama-sama tapi bila nak beli umpan member buat tak tahu aje.
3. Sedang asyik menarik ikan, tiba-tiba pula kaki pancing kat sebelah memandai tunjuk pro dengan mengajar kita.
4. Masa tak dapat ikan kita pindah tempat lain, tapi kaki pancing lain duduk kat tempat kita tadi dapat pulak ikan.
5. Terlepas ikan yang dipancing tak ada orang yang tolong tanggukkan, yang ada tu sekadar menonton sahaja.
6. Bila ikan makan umpan kita, kaki pancing dekat sebelah buat tak tahu sehingga berbelit tali kita dengan tali pemancing tu.
7. Baru nak mula memancing, kaki pancing kat sebelah pula memandai ajar kita supaya baling pancing kat lubuk ikan kononya walhal ikan seekor pun tak dapat.
8. Dah le susah nak dapat ikan, alih-alih member pulak bawa balik ikan kita dengan selamba.
9. Bila ada kaki pancing yang tidak dikenali sibuk membelek ikan yang kita dapat yang sudah bergari dan tiba-tiba terlepas dan diorang buat tak tahu aje dengan alasan ikatan gari tak betul.

Itulah di antara perkara-perkara yang akan membuatkan seseorang kaki pancing itu menjadi bengang, bayangkan jika semua perkara yang tersebut di atas terjadi ke atas anda. Tentulah anda pun rasa bengang.....

Payara, aka Hydrolycus scomberoides, is a type of gamefish. Its main habitat is located in Venezuela and in the Amazon basin. The Payara's most noticeable feature is the two long fangs protruding from its lower jaw. These fangs can be 4 to 6 inches long. Parayas grow to be around 3 feet long with an average length of 1.5 ft. It is also featured in the first season of the Animal Planet show 'River Monsters' starring Jeremy Wade who is a British biologist and professional angler.
The Payara's diet mainly consist of smaller fish; they impale other fish with their sharp teeth and consume them. Payaras also share the same habitat with butterfly peacock bass (Cichla ocellaris). In the Amazon River basin, Payaras are restricted to tributaries above the mouth of the Rio Tapajós.
