Remarkable results What I was hoping for

Initially I tot they were just tall tale until a few other spoke of the same fish. Unfortunately no pic was provided and only a vague description of the fish was given. After that I was back in KL,off and on I would try to find out more about the fish but it seem nobody from the peninsula had even heard of such a fish let alone seen one. And it happened someone posted a similar fish at Monsterfishkeeper forum back in the mid 2000 that the Japanese had acquired such a fish. That was the first time I had seen the sp Borneo. But it was out of touch. Fast forward to present day, again the sp Borneo bug had bitten me and this time I was determined to get one. Now with the internet technology I joined any available facebook fishing group in Indonesia and whenever an sp borneo was caught I would note down the location
