MIRI: A local fisherman caught a 145kg giant grouper at Kuala Baram waters in early Sunday morning. According to Ahmad Uzair Sidek, 20, he accompanied by his uncle went to the sea for fishing at about 6pm Saturday in Kuala Baram waters, about 35km from Batu Satu beach here.
“I did not expect to get such a catch because I usually get small fish.
This is the first time I got a big fish,” he told the reporter when contacted. Ahmad Uzair with his uncle took about 30 minutes to fight the fish before successfully landing the fish on the boat.
While onshore, it caught a lot of fishermen and customers’ attention who were curious seeing the monster fish.
The extraordinary catch became the talk of the local fishermen that Miri waters are teeming with rich marine life and a good hunting ground for deep sea anglers. The fish later was bought by a fish trader for RM5,075.
