I have only known fishing game in other countries and never heard
such event being held in the Philippines. With the abundant marine resources and
being one of the centers of biodiversity, it is no doubt that giant fishes are
found in the Philippines.
The Municipality of Pilar in Siargao Island has been
the host of the International Fishing Game in the Philippines for the 5th
Year and being participated by fishing enthusiasts representing different
nationalities from USA, Japan to Australia.
My friends and I were so fortunate that during our visit to
Siargao in the last week of April 2012 as we were able to see the fruit of
labor of the anglers displayed at the stage along Pilar Boulevard for the final
weighing and measurement.
The longest
fish is much taller than my height and weigh more than 45 Kg. Some of these
fishes are Tanigue, Dorado, and giant Talakitok to name just a few.
It was an exhilarating experience to see it in person and the
crowds were cheering for every fish outweighing the others. So unfortunate in our part that we have to leave earlier and missed the announcement of winners on different categories.Truly this event adds up to things you don’t want to miss in
Siargao every year.
