Last Sunday DCA Sandakan Fishing Club has took part in local fishing competition host by Kompleks Sukan Sandakan. Earlier 5 members of this club were agreed to join the competition. However, at last minute only 2 were able to join it. They are Yazid and Haji Yassin.
Haji Yassin was very lucky when he won lucky draw hamper even the competition not started yet.
This is the first time Kompleks Sukan Sandakan host a fishing competition. No wonder it attracted 150 anglers around Sandakan to fish at the prohibited lake there. The competition started at 9 am and finished at 3 pm. Weather in the morning was quite good but heavy rain just after the competition is over. Many anglers bring along their wife and kids to enjoy the momment.
Haji Yassin manage to catch several fishes more than 130 gram each but Yazid only got 2 fishes which less than 80 gram. A few time Haji Yassin was listed in top 10 heaviest catch. Unfortunately, at last he eliminated as the lightest fish is 160 gram. The winner of that day caught 780 gram of Black Talapia. Although we did not get any main prizes, luckily we still bring home 2 hampers each person. We were very enjoy that day even a bit tired. We also hope can join competition like this next time
