Hi Dr. that is fantastic murell pictures. Can u tell what lure you have used? Also, what is the equipments to catch such a fish? The rod and rel look like they are small. I am using 20lbs line and 9 feets rod. Than-Q.

Hearty Congratulations to the Master of Murrells who is now back with a Bang and I can see that the murrells are dying to get your lure and I think the acrobatics {somersaults } were to welome you back in the game after that long gap

Delighted to see the big beauties of gujarat & wish you many such happy hookups O Multi talented Dactoor

Congrats for the catch.

Ali.

Hi doctor, you also have a 9feet rod but you have siad you bought it from bops but did not tell where that shop is. Do trhey have a branch in Hyd? Are this shop also selling the scumfrogs for how much? Thanx.

Srini

Great catch bro...
Congrats

& thanks for sharing the pic's

@alexis- thanks mate . i have noticed that they jump when you apply lots of pressure when they are trying to get in the weeds.

@srinivas- bops is not a shop bro. . bops as in bopanna pattada. i hope you know him . the shop is right here on indianangler. pm bops if he still has the rod in stock.

thanks viper.

Not to sound colour-biased, but the black buggers always get the most hits... I remember when I was in the company of the PHG, the black scum frog which I used (and affectionately called N****) had the most hits.. I think after the first season, he had more bites in him than a fresher at a vampire party

I think the Sol-Men can shed some light on this...

Tight Lines & Good Fishing,
GRC

you are right gavin, there is something about this black colour. maybe it contrasts well with the blue sky and green weeds. the water is very clear in the canal. all you have to do is walk along the bank, spot a murrel, cast a frog and bang!! the fish is on.

superb snakes there doc...
keep making us happy with such nice pics...

regards,

Dr. Prasad

hey Amir there are some fantastic catches congratulation mate keep hooking them

Magnificant catches, Dr. Aamir and good sized too, what was the weight of these murrels...

Congratulation for such catches.

Thanks and Regards
Arish!

true, angling is not only about the weight of the fish. i also feel that the measure of weight is also a measure of your skilll. large fish= more clever= difficult to fool=hard to catch..... also, large fish=more power= difficult to land : all of which requires skill.

Super Like!

hi guys, mr arun mohile visited me this morning. i took him fishing to one of my fav haunts. it was raining hard but we decided to try our luck. just as we got out of our car, we saw a murrel crusing along the weed margins. arunji cast a frog but it was so accurate that it landed on its head. the murrel vanished in the weeds with a huge splash . then we moved some 50 yards upstream and started casting along the weed margins. no response. we kept on casting 5-6 times in one spot and if there was no response we moved ahead 10 yards and repeated. i feel that if a murrel is nearby it'll take in the first 2-3 casts. then arunji got a strikeand he landed a nice 2 pounder, his first one . then a few mins later i got a strike on my frog. just as the frog landed it took it with a huge splash. you can never tell from the splash how big its going to be. i have seen huge ones taking the frog very casually while 2 pounders nearly jumping out of the water to get them. then after a few more strikes and a few lost fish the rain stopped and so did the strikes. i am glad there was no thunder. i am scared shit of lightining espesially with a rod in my hand . maybe an hour later one of my friends got a huge strike. we saw the murrel coming out of the weeds a few feet from the bank and whalloped the frog. what a sight it was. a 10 pounder rolling in the water like an alligator trying to get rid of the frog. it ultimately succeded and spat out the frog on his face. 4 hrs went by and we called it a day. it was his first murrel fishing experience. hope he enjoyed it. all of them caught on top water lures. this time i used a stanley ribbit frog. man, the murrels go crazy after it. it makes a nice putt.. putt.. putt.. putt.. sound when retrived. every murrel angler must have one! they chewed my frog to bits. here are the pictures

get the stanley double hook and bend it a little towards the outer side. the only drawback about this frog is that it will last only for about 4-5 takes. by the 6th take the legs are gone and the body is all chewed up. but its pretty inexpensive.

@mm- you are most welcome buddy.

@ arish-yup! slow and steady wins the race! stick to it and youll get your dream fish.

@viper- thanks mate. getting drenched in rain while fishing is much more enjoyable than getting drenched in sweat as is the case rest of the year

@sayedbhai- aah , the great saltie finally wants to fish in fresh water marhaba!! marhaba!!! [/quote]
