This episode covers our 3 days of fishing at Rompin & Tioman during the open season, 2024.
This is a special trip for me. In addition to the familiar line-peeling fun from Spanish Mackerel, I finally managed to check off one of my dream fish off the bucket list... Wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) are among the fastest fish in the ocean and really pushed our tackles to the limit with their insane bursts of speed. Can't wait for our next trip out already!
Shoutout to my kakis for making this trip a memorable one:
Joshua, Ziyi, Julian,
Captain Shaggy, Deck Help Panjang,
and of course my beautiful wife Jen. Thank you for following me out to sea and for the amazing footages.
