All hooks were upgraded to 4x but still got crushed, i like the idea off strong singles they could work, just got to be careful not to upset the action of the lures, would need testing
I have gone through the book " Maneaters of Kumanon" by Jim Corbett in which it appears as if he was really obsessed by this fish that he mentioned as " Fish of my dreams"
"To strong for me hooks..." ?? Hey mate, did you upgrade them from the stock ones? And you'd do better swapping them out to larger single hooks. Much much stronger ;)
Awesome stuff! Nicely shot / edited too. This is definitely something I need to achieve in my angling life. Can you give a quick breakdown of the tackle you were using? I own some pretty heavy spinning gear but not sure it would cut it with these beauties. Also if you don't mind me asking did you go with a tour company or arrange the ghillies etc yourselves?
In almost any other place in weestern Europe or N America anglers would regard that means of reatining a fish as cruel - can the posters explain what happened to these fish after the photos ?
Its actually the opposite to what you think, the stringers allow you to make sure the fish are well recovered before releasing them back into the fast flow of the himalayan rivers. A couple of the big mahseer 40lb + which gave their all in a fight, were rested this way for upto an hour before we were happy to release them safe and well.
Actually no, I wanted to hear the fish were released. I believe the people filmed care deeply about what they do, and about mahseer - I was looking for the instructive explanation you gave.

What a nice fishing adventure you have there for these Himalayan Mahseer.
Do you mind to share where is this location and which local opperator you hire?
I am very interested to try this fishing.

Its on the Kali river system, can highly recommend the himalayan outback for guides and logistics.

I agree they are addictive to fish for, its a combination of great scenery,wild rivers, culture, beautiful fish and a great fight.
