I have been wanting to go fishing in Chiang Mai, since my friend, Emile, told me about it in Peru.  I was really excited to go!  I caught a 67lb catfish!  We went fishing all day at Bo Sang Fishing Park.  The bait we used was made of rice, peanuts, cake, coconut milk, corn and bread.

When we arrived, my dad caught the first fish then my sister caught the next one.  After that, I caught the next one and it was 50lbs.  It took me 20 minutes to get it in.

First fish of the day! Don't catch them like that in Missouri.

We had lunch which was Cashew Chicken, Thai Omelet and another chicken dish.  I liked the Cashew Chicken.

After lunch, we changed spots on the lake.  We went to the end of the lake.  Right when I casted in I got a big bite and the guide said it was a really big fish.  I was really excited and thought it may be the biggest one of the day and it was.  It took 30 minutes to bring in and it was 67 LBS!

We kept fishing and I caught lots more fish!  I thought it was really fun and our guide, Suivet, from Big Game Fishing was really great.

  1. Awesome! I love the pic of you laying next to the fish you caught! But, with all that wonderful catfish, why CHICKEN for dinner?

    1. The fishing was ALL catch-n-release! Isn’t that sad? I had some great Sea Bass for lunch the day before though.
