Big Puffer Fish

Date: 23-10-2025

Last evening went to the jetty. As recently hardly had any fresh bait fish around so i dig deep into my freezer and found three big arrow squid i caught about two years back as bait. (Suppose to be consume but had forgotten about it)

Tide is on the last part of down but water had come to still. After casting out, i went to jig for any life bait. After some hard work, luckily manage to caught three baby mackeral and a small selar.

When i went back to my rod wanted to change bait, i found my line got some slack. I pump hard and end of the line is heavy and feel some struggling. Slowly wind back the line and found this big puffer floating up. Too heavy too lift up by the rod so i put down my rod and get my glove. I grab hold of my leader and pull it up. Come with it is a small sucker fish that attach to the fish body. This puffer weigh 4.9kg on the scale. Both fishes was released back.
