Few nights before, my friends and I went fishing (diving)  in the river of Lubok Duku, Kumpang Paoh searching for the fresh water species, known for its powerful, aggressiveness  and sudden strike. The fish were such as the Sebarau (Adong) or Hampala Macrolepidota, Tengas (Tengih)/ semah/ Acrossocheilus Hexagonolepis , and some other species of fish that live in the particular area.


We began diving around 7.00 p.m and usually ended around 10.00p.m -12 .00 p.m because the next day we will have to wake up early and get ready for school. Of course, most of us were teachers. The journey to Lubok Duku took us about 20 minutes from our school.Of course we need to bring our torch, goggle, fishing net and the one and only our "senapang ikan" (harpoon gun).

This fish (Adong Tunggal) was shot by one of my friend and though it look small, it weighed around 800 grams to 900 grams and of course there were lot more fish that bigger than this.




Once, we have caught a fish that weighed more than two kilos!! What a big fish it was!! That fish was locally known as "semah":- Acrossocheilus Hexagonolepis. 
We were envious with joy when we saw the fish successfully in the   hands of Cikgu Jeffery Janting and let me tell you this, what a beautiful fish!



Normally this kind of fish spent most of their live hiding 10 feet underwater. Sometimes the surfaced up to eat or to breathed some fresh air.


Even when it was small, this fish usually very hard to catch (Harpooned) because it was very wild, alert  and aggressive.


This fish is such a "Great Predator".


"Ikan Sebarau" or locally known as "adong tunggal" . It got its name from the stripes that can bee sen across its body. This fish can be found along clear water river in some pats of Sarawak or in Peninsular Malaysia.
