We started moving to our "hunting ground" around 6.30 p.m (and of course, after having our dinner).Let me tell you something about these frogs.These frogs were locally known as "pama'". These "pama'" normally lived along the riverbank of clearwater rivers. They only came out at night to hunt for their food(Insects, small prey such as fish and some water plants) or sometimes to mate.These "pama'" usually active around 7.00p.m- 11.00 p.m and also from 2.00 a.m-4.30a.m.
The quickest and easiest ways to catch these precious one of a kind "pama'" were by hands or harpoon which known as "serampang/jayang" to the local people who lived in this particular area.
Some of these frogs can grew up to 200g to 800g each depending on which area and the food that they ate. Sometimes, these frogs can cost you around RM25.00 per kilo because they were very hard to find and difficult to catch .These frogs/ "pama'" were considered as the precious, luxurious and special dishes and also the good source of protein for those people who lived in this area.
The man of the day! (let just say "night").. Mr. Jeffery Janting. He caught more frogs than WE did.
