IT Monster Lake in Bangkok
Filed Under (Freshwater) by fishingh on 18-05-2008
Recently, Thailand is gaining more and more attention from anglers all over asia and the rest of the world and for good reason too. Thailand has some amazing fishing resorts as well as wild fishing areas. In some of my previous post, I wrote about the amazing Barramundi fishing in Bangkok as well as the Bungsamran Resort which holds some of the biggest freshwater fishes in the world.
Well, this month, a friend sent me some pictures from IT Monster Lake, also in Thailand. They are just amazing! Check them out!
Here is a beautiful catfish weighing about 20kg caught at IT Monster Lake on spinning gear. Seems like this is an African species of catfish, very rare here in this region, but quite plentiful in this lake.
IT Monster specializes in exotic species including the rare South American Arapaima, definitely one of the largest freshwater fish in the world.
Check out more of the pictures below!
IT Monster seems like a place no keen angler should miss. If for any reason, just the opportunity andexperience to catch some of the rarest species of fishes in the world.
Picture below on the left shows one fo the biggest Arrowana I have ever seen… can you imagine landing this on fly tackle?
The right picture is one of a smaller Arapaima caught here estimated at about 25kg. In fact, these are more manageable sizes and won’t wear you down like the larger ones will.
We will be planning a trip there soon, hopefully sometime in the third quarter of the year… and will report our success in future posting on this site.
Stay tuned! I’m sure we’ll report with some of the most awesome pictures you’ve ever seen!

The best place to target the Arapaima right now is Gillhams Fishing Resorts in Krabi. Some of our customers have been taking 5 or 6 Arapaima upwards of 50kg in a 6 days fishing.
