Fishing for Snakehead - No live frog was harmed during this trip

Last week me and my freshwater fishing buddy decided to explore an abandoned pond next to some duck rearing farm. This place is somewhere near the Selangor Fruit Valley in Rawang.
A month ago, while making attempt to fish for some Patin river catfish, we met some fishermen who did casting and the result was bad. So we thought what the hell, let's not waste time with this place.
Times are bad, river water has been polluted and the catfish are not biting. One of my regular fishing buddy has been incapacitated to serious hiking for fishing by his last major operation. Had some serious blood vessel rupture and almost died. He loves fishing like hell, so we thought lets try this abandoned pond out cause we can park just next to it and unload. Put a bench up for him to fish. Touch wood if he die while fishing, at least he died doing something he like. Life too short to be serious at times
So it was decided that we're gonna load up on chicken liver and earthworm for this trip. My cousin who came back from Bermuda decided to join in on this trip. we caught a few fishes, mostly were juvenile snakehead and featherback. All of them was released back into the pond to grow up more. My cousin caught a decent sized snakehead. Check out the smile on his face
