Here the last report from fishing guide Jean Francois Helias:"The pending 0.54 kg IGFA All Tackle world record for the
Eye-spot Barb (Hampala dispar) was broken not once but twice twice two days ago
during a 2 days expedition in the north east of the country.
First by yours truly; then by Malaysian angler Datuk
Abdul Kadir whom I was guiding.
I retired that 0.54 kg record first by catching a 0.58
kg fish on a local spinner. My new pending record did
not last long...
A few hours later, in the afternoon, Ali caught a dream
hampala dispar weighing a whooping 0.69 kg on my digital scales. That is a mega
Hampala dispar record catch at that weight!
