Last holiday during Merdeka Day, my friend came far away from Melaka to visit us, course mate from KUiTTHO, in Penang. We spent few days together & in day 2 I bring them to Penang National Park for hiking while I can enjoy fishing there.

Raining half way to Monkey Beach (click to enlarge)
This is the first time Poo poo visit to Penang National Park. Unluckily, it's raining right after few minutes we start the hiking after breakfast. It become heavier & heavier & everyone of us getting wet soon. We continue until we meet a small hut infront of USM research center. Besides us, there are still around 15 college students cover under there.
Start fishing
Luckily, we wait for about 20minutes, the rain getting stop & we continue our way to Monkey Beach. Anyway, the weather is still looke unstable so I suggest to start fishing first by the beach

Puffer fish... largest of the day (click to enlarge)
Out of expected, the fish are so excited too. All the bait that i throw into sea will finish very very soon. I think they are so hungry that their actions are so fierce. I get 7~8 fish easily here. Anyway, I dont know the name of this fish. Lastly, before we move to Monkey Beach, I get a big puffer fish. I'm not sure how heavy is it but i feel that it is quite near to my record.

Right after reach Monkey Beach, I start to fish while my friend enjoy their moment in the beautiful scenery. Since I bring only 2 fishing rod there, so only 2 persons that can fishing. I take 1 fishing rod all the time while my friends take turn to use another fishing rod. They are all first timer of fishing but the manage to get the first catch here. Nicholas get a unknown fish, Nicky get a 白鲷鱼 or ikan pipi & puffer fish while Poo Poo get another ikan pipi.
For myself, I also get several unkown fish here. I get a big ikan temenggung 成鱼 (cat fish) here. It give me a big fight. Using my soft Berkley rod, I have to use 5 minutes to surrender an 500g sea cat fish. Anyhow, when i get the fish, the camera is not around so there is no picture is captured.
