        Patience, 
        strength and dexterity…If 
        you possess these qualities you may want to try out angling in Malaysia's 
        bountiful ocean, lakes, and rivers. Imagine this, your overworked arms 
        are aching so much that they actually feel numb and perspiration is constantly 
        dripping from your brow despite the ever cooling breeze. In fact, you've 
        been battling this fish for 3 hours and it is isn't going to be "the one 
        that got away". That is what you think. The fish, on the other hand, has 
        other thoughts, most likely being, "I'm not going to be your dinner!". 
        This isn't a scene from a Hemmingway novel. This is you fighting a Black 
        Marlin off the coast of Sabah. 
       For 
        the deep sea sports fisherman, Malaysia's waters are stocked with game 
        fish that'll provide grand competition. In the coastal water off Terengganu, 
        Johor, Sabah, 
        and Sarawak 
        you can drop a line and wait for the strike! It could be a Sharp-Toothed 
        Bass, Silver Jewfish, or the prized Black Marlin. For the fresh water 
        angler, try the lakes and rivers and maybe snare a Giant Snakehead or 
        Malaysian Mahsa. A different challenge, but equally as rewarding. Then 
        there is "candat" fishing. Learn from the local East Coast fishermen the 
        art of catching cuttlefish using lights and multiple lines with hooks. 
        Truly a distinct mode of fishing.
