If you may recalled watching the show, there was an episode where the dude was in Thailand fishing for the Giant Mekong Catfish. Unfortunately, this type of fish in the wild has been very elusive while they have flourish in pay lakes. The one I landed was about 50 lbs and that's apparently the average size in the lake. There is a 300 lb one swimming in there somewhere. Therefore, give me a day in Thailand and I'll put you on a 50 lb fish. Give me a week and I'll put you on a 200 lb fish. Fishing here isnt quite as 'natural' but it does satisfy the itch considering the size. There are numerous pay lakes stocked with all kinds of fish with different ponds being specific to each type of fish. There's even a pond dedicated to the carp species with the Chinese Big Headed Carp being one of the popular targets! I've been gathering contacts of local guides that could put us on to fish easily so I'm just waiting for you guys to get your butt here!
