Tembeling River Has Potential To Be Biggest Fresh Water Fish Producer In Pahang

JERANTUT, Aug 9 (Bernama) -- Tembeling River has the potential of becoming the biggest fresh water fish producer in Pahang after 50,000 kelah and other fresh water fish released into the Sepia and Gembir rivers last year have matured for harvesting soon.

East Region Fisheries Department Freshwater Fishing deputy enforcement officer, Abdul Gaffar Abdul Manaf said the two rivers had been gazetted as red zones.

"The red zones are prohibited areas for fishing using poisoning and stunning methods and cast and drift nets in order to protect their number.

"This step taken by the Pahang Fisheries Department is also to maintain these two rivers as the breeding grounds for fresh water fish species like the temoleh, jelawat and patin, so as to be at par with Tasik Kenyir in Terengganu," he told reporters, here, Wednesday.

He said tight control over fishing included creating sanctuaries for these valuable species of fish in three main zones of the Tembeling River since five years ago.

The Biggest Walleye Ever Caught on Video?

I’m no die-hard walleye fisherman, but I’ve seen a few big walleye in my life time. At no point have I ever laid my eyes on one this big though!

The fish in the video above weighted 16 pounds at 32 inches long, with 20 inches of girth! If I hadn’t seen this on video, I’d suspect that the guys we’re drinking heavily and miss-identified a pike, but the video proves otherwise.

The current world record walleye is held by Al Nelson’s 22-pound 11-ounce walleye caught in Fairfield Bay on Greer’s Lake, Arkansas in 1982. But a 25-pounder was once caught in the Niagara River- though it was snagged by a salmon fisherman and did not qualify.

The Worlds Biggest Crocodile Caught Alive!

Steve Irwin would be proud to see this – the worlds largest crocodile caught alive in the Philippines. These huge crocodiles can be challenging to catch alive, but 100 mean teamed up to make sure this 21 foot croc was caught unharmed. The massive crocodile will become the main attraction at a new Eco-tourism park being built in Agusan.

At least 100 men were required to pull the huge reptile on to the banks of the creek where, after a great deal of difficulty, it was bound up and then lifted by crane on to the back of a truck.
They weren’t going to let the victory pass without having their photo taken, so many of the villagers posed beside their scaly captive before it was driven off to a confined area.
