On one fine day 3-4 months back at an IT seminar, I was almost dozing off in the comfy couch in one of the hotels in KL. I started fiddling with phone and as I was scrolling through my phonebook, my phone LCD read "Ah Ho GT Chaser". After a dissapointing trip last year on the same boat, I decided to give it another try, but this time, Jigging and Popping is the main dish.
Getting people for this trip was hell of a headache. Out of the first 5 person that agreed to join this trip 3 months ago, only 1 made it. And the rest went yada..yada..yada excuses. And last minute, 1 day before this trip, I was `aeroplaned` again by a "prominent" angler and his camera crew big time resulting in me paying for 2 person's boat fee. However, I'm glad to have a good company this trip with Sharma, WanIzhan, Tang, Mahadzhir and Jimmy.

My first day was full of frustration. Our first spot was at Hutan Melintang which was very productive, I had a fair share of the triple hookup with my Poseidon + Stella 5000 combo which not long after, the fish dived swam towards the front of the boat and dived back to the hull resulting my main line to be cut.
As I changed to my Jigzam + Stella 8000 setup, i did a stupid mistake, I did not check the drag setting and straight away i dropped my spanking new Sevenseas hooker jigged it above midwater and i've got a big hit! I jerk the rod hard twice trying to set hook and there it goes, hoping a GT on the other end and expecting a long scream on the reel. But the truth is it did not, it only let out 2 short screams and my Jigzam went into a scary bend.
Before i could even land my fingers on the reel to loosen the drag, my mainline snapped ! Right after that, the mates beside was getting hookup after hookups ! I rushed to the back and try to tie my FG knot on my Stella 5000 as fast as i could, continue to jig for the next 2 spots and got a hookup at the 2nd spot and as I was trying to set hook, the familiar sound of *piak* was heard again. I cursed and cursed non stop and forced to sit down properly to retie 2 knots on both my jigging setup watching the rest of them getting hookup for the rest of the evening. As Captain Ah Ho was raising his anchor at about 7pm, i dropped my jig for a last chance before leaving to Pulau Jarak for the night, I felt a small thug at the other end of the line and I was rewarded with a 1.5kg angchor.

A lot of people buy the Rolex Submariner replica watches sale over other Rolex replica watches sale because of its Glidelock adjustment system. The idea is that you can micro-adjust the size of the bracelet within a few millimeters on the fly. This means that as your wrist naturally expands, you can re-size the bracelet with ease, or increase the size of the bracelet to be worn over a jacket or dive suit. The design and comfort of the bracelet should not be under-estimated, nor should you ignore these elements as a major selling point behind this model of Rolex fake watches. Sadly rolex replica uk doesn't offer the Glidelock system with even similar watches such as the Explorer II - though you can get it in the beefier Deepsea models. Now it all comes down to cost in the end. For some people rolex replica sale Submariner is a cheap daily wear, but for many people it is an item of aspiration with a price in the several thousand dollars.
