My first catch

This was my first significant catch at Bedok Jetty. I have been fishing there for the last 3 months, but I had only luck getting tambans (a kind of baitfish) and once landed a baby mackeral while jigging for baitfishes. This small queenfish was caught on 8 Jul 06 using tamban meat on an apollo rig. I had almost decided to give up and was going to pack up and go home when the reel started screaming. I rushed over to grab hold of the fishing rod, and reeled in this small queenfish.
