Mandarinfish weekend in South Korea!

Had an awesome weekend with friends this weekend catching bass, mandarin fish, and river tarpon! Got some underwater footage as well. Check out the video: https://vimeo.com/98325166

That underwater video is just badass. Never seen so many free swimming fish filmed like that. Cool vids keep em coming!

Nice vid! I used to have a mandarin fish in my collection back in the day. Glad that jackass boater was able to swerve out of the way in the nick of time.

Thanks guys. Jaysuuun - what do you mean? In aquarium? That would be awesome. Saw them in an aquarium at a tackleshop, seem to be pretty hardy.

Boater was more of a nuisance than anything. Nothing against boaters, but dude kept doing circles all day with jet skis too.

Yes in an aquarium. I collected a bunch of exotics back in the day; peacock bass,mandarin fish, Nile perch, FW stingrays, snakeheads, payara, African tiger, various piranhas just to name a few. Many of these predatory species quickly outgrew my tank and had to part with them. Costly to feed too!

Nice! I have aquariums too, need to set the 125G up when I get home to Japan in Aug. Usually keep it saltwater, but if I could have a mandarin, I'd love too.

Wow! great fishing and great film! I been there and never new the fishing was like that. I am showing my Korean in-laws your video and going in October. Thank for the new adventure idea.

Can you rent kayaks there at the Naktong Kang?

[philr21]

Was wondering how long it would take for a fellow military person coming to Korea to see the vids. Have some others you can checkout as well.

I don't know of any freshwater kayak rentals but can put you in touch with Hobie kayak folks who may be able to point you in the right direction.
