#thailand #freshwaterfishing #gillhams
This amazing video of just showcases the home of the new world record Arapaima, the famous Gillhams Resort. Filmed over just 2 days, watch peter showcasing just how prolific this resort is. Would you believe they struggled with too many fish, the Redtail Catfish were heavily on the feed making it hard for Peter to keep a rod in the water long enough to catch other species. However, he does succeed so there many fish including the famous Mekong's. Complete with an interview of one of the guides explaining all about this amazing resort.

Wow no matter how many times I see this amazing site i am still blown away but sadly cant imagine it would be possible for a disabled angler

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Hello Richard, thank you for your comment. We can accommodate disabled anglers at Gillhams. All the swims are flat concrete swims. there are slops leading from the bungalows down to the lake and then back up to the restaurant. Would you like me to contact you with further details? All the best Paul

[@paulread4422]

Fantastic video..A dream....thanks for living the dream for us..

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Have you ever been on a dedicated fishing holiday?

[@leenaylor38]

Great video peter all the sights and sounds brings back great memories of Gillhams when we where there. Plus I made a short cameo appearence in the infinity pool near the end hopefully I will make it back to Thailand soon

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Yes Lee it was like that when I was editing it all up, brought back some great memories. I will have to be careful showing you in the pool as you will come after me for royalties LOL. Lets get you and your brother back over there one day.

[@tomdenham6745]

great video. Great presenter. This place is definitely on my bucket list !!!!!

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Tom Denham Thanks Tom. I am also glad you enjoyed the presenting. Just try to make and bring across how exciting the fishing is. Regards Peter

[@abbeyfiz]

Peter you are are one of the finer presenters i have come across .You make it seem so easy ! Tight lines and keep those videos coming mate .

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Abbey Thank you so much for your kind words, I can not take all the credit as I have a great team behind me. My partner Tracey does all the camera work and planning of all the shots. I have the easy bit just fish and talk :)

[@bucketbackup6751]

Stunning Redtails!

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Thanks buddy, I could only some a few of them, we had an amazing 2 days fishing, I had 15 Redtails on the first day alone, it was too much action to show all in one video.

[@rickcowleymidfulnessfitnes3901]

Probably the most informative video I've seen, I'm going on the 21st March 2023 and I'm a little nervous considering the size of the equipment and fish but I'm also very excited

[@paulstevens156]

Great Video guys, has made me want to visit this part of the world even more. Gillhams looks like the place where my partner would be comfortable. The sportquest Holidays, you have helped me show my partner that it is not just a fishing lake. Thanks

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Paul its a pleasure and thats the whole point of our videos to showcase what great destinations they all are. Have a great trip with your partner as Stuart and his team will take great care of you both. Rgds Peter

[@Fishingtvchannel]

A beautiful location and fantastic catch, can't ask for much more! Great Video guys!

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Thanks guys from such a well established and respected channel that means a lot. I have so many more destinations to edit up its just a matter of finding the time. Keep up your good work, Regards Peter Collingsworth

[@Fishingtvchannel]

Thank you Peter, We look forward to seeing more from yourselves!

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Fishing TV Likewise, would be nice to work on some projects together in the future, if you are ever interested :)

[@Fishingtvchannel]

Sportquest Holidays We are actually looking for new venues at the moment! Do you have an email address we can have so I can send over some more information on what our plans are?

[@armbender777]

really nice vid.. i watched 2 of ur vids so far and thumbs up on both..

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Arrr thanks, feel free to watch them all over time I am sure you will enjoy them and thanks a lot for taking the time to comment. The more comments I can get the better my channel will perform. I have lots more videos to come so keep watching. Regards Peter

[@rbzgodx2346]

Going to Gillhams in November this year, jesus i cannot wait ^^! ... just worried about getting in that water with all those giants ;O

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Nick Albretsen Nick I know what you mean it is a bit like that, but believe you me as its so hot there you love catching fish as you also get the chance to cool off. Don't worry nothing will bite :) Have a good trip Regards Peter

[@calvinmckean281]

Another amazing video Peter. I was wondering, do you think you could do more freshwater spin fishing videos? You only have two as you already know. You are my favorite fishing presenter on KZbin. With time I know that you will gain more subscribers. Keep being a great fisherman and presenter. Best of luck on your next fishing trip!

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Caroline McKean Thank you for your kind words, I would love to do lot and lots more videos, its just a matter of time. I have a few people said they would like to see me do a TV series.. :) but I am not sure if TV would be ready for me though... Kind Regards Peter

[@duzaofishing9209]

nice video, nice fishes!!! Pirararas here in Brazil.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Thank you kindly

[@daikent3702]

Peter, If you think the head end of a 90lb Mekong is heavy, try lifting one of 260lb! Great video, it brought back many memories. All the best, Dai

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Dai, Thanks for commenting. I bet that fish must of taken a right lot of lifting. Glad it brought back so many fond memories. Regards Peter

[@wendyanderson2195]

nice catfish man i never cought one but it looks like they fight hard

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Like hell :)

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Thanks to everyone for all their comments, I would love to find out what other videos would you like us make. Suggestions anyone Regards Peter

[@johnchen9930]

This was real fishing, no help from boat. Man against fish, fair fight, sporty !! Those boat fisherman can chase, drift, follow and intercept the hooked giants, were not fair fights. IGFA should have a higher category of records for STATIONARY fishing.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Thanks John for your comment. I agree this is much harder work on the fishermen and maybe a separate category should be applied

[@vdualtec1]

Nice catch! I was going to buy small red tail catfish in pet store for my pond, glad I pass up deal would had fill size of pond.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Victor, probably a good idea as it would also eat all the other fish in your pond, Regards Peter

[@vdualtec1]

Thanks Peter, funny thing two raccoons killed my 7 years old Kio's two weeks after. caught them on camera.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Wow I did not know they hunted fish in ponds like that. Did you shoot them ?

[@vdualtec1]

Hey peter, I was very upset but in Los Angeles CA. can't shoot guns. But did set a up cage with corn but them guys too smart they rolled cage around. funny thing is finding raccoons in city of Los Angeles.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Crafty critters

[@lKropt]

Wow, That cat fish is just so beautifull, amazing, why are you working with Brad Pit? keep fishing and showing videos with great fishes you will get more viewers with the time, im Mexican sorry by the english, put the likes ON so people can vote D:

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Hi Thanks for your kind comments, yes the fish are great the place is amazing. I turned of the likes as I want people to comment if they have something good or bad to say I prefer people to say it, I think the likes are too impersonal. Thanks again for watching, check out my other fishing videos, hope you also enjoy them. Regards Peter

[@LordZetera00]

Ah reading the comments you've placed I understand why you turned off the likes. Though I've watched videos that liken "Likes" as a form of World Wide Web Applause of sorts. But off that topic this video was amazing and I honestly prefer this to every fishing show I've watched thus far. That Mekong catfish was huge... and yea can't believe that was the smaller end of their size. Also may the Red Tails be with you.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Hi Lord, Thank you for taking the time to comment and also for your kind comments. Its me in the video and all I try to do is just show people my excitement, and also not talk to everyone as if they are thick and I am clever. I am just lucky with my work I travel lots so get to fish at some amazing places. Just hope people keep liking my videos as I have so many more left to edit up. Regards Peter

[@andyk.8]

I like all the GT videos but going all the way to Thailand to cast a line in a aquarium/ pond and possibly catching a world record ? Beautiful fish but still don't know if I call that fishing. Fan of all the rest keep up the good work.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Hi Andy, I know what you mean its not high on my list, however so many people love it and I think that fair as everyone to their own. I must admit that I do like all forms of fishing and fishing at Gillhams for the first time was great fun. Glad you liked all the other videos and thank you for taking the time to comment. Regards Peter

[@charles29cc]

Has this lake been made larger as on website says 12 and half acres and the guy said 8??? Looking at booking in next few months for next year, any idea of availability to fish for a week and stay on campus! Also do you no the best months it produces fish? Ta

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Yes the lake as had a massive extension since this video was made a few year ago now.

[@12dougreed]

You can catch these all the time at the many fishing parks in Thailand. Easy to catch , heavy tackle, to tell the truth not really sporting. You can't compare with the fishing you have , and the real sportsman you have in Europe.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Some of the fish in Thailand are incredible! I've been lucky enough to catch some Redtail Catfish, Pacu and Mekongs before - they certainly knew how to fight. Hope you've been catching a few. 😊

[@slidei571]

Minecraft music done me head in

[@joaomma]

Pirarara amazônico.

[@truckerfromreno]

800km?

[@djbgatekeeper]

Isnt it a bit like shooting fish in a barrel..... Nice place and nice fish... No challenge.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Dave Barker Yes Dave, but some people just love it. I enjoyed it for a few days, having said that it is a very well set up and well run place. Stuart and his team do an amazing job at this resort. Regards Peter

[@djbgatekeeper]

Nice place to chill out then... Best of luck and happy fishing 😀

[@grandmatweed]

he said that's why the fish live so well...how is being pulled in by a hook living well?

[@carper2248]

Are you a bunny hugger or something

[@sicktattoobro]

FISHING IN A BARREL...

[@barryrowe657]

A great Video and well presented and filmed except for the stupid dubbed in loud music and bird sounds that come on every time something interesting is said. Those fishing lakes are tranquil and pleasant there is no music and certainly no Amazon birds sitting behind a microphone on a PA system, leave them out next time and you have me hooked!!!

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

We will lisen to your feedback thanks

[@joshuamoore4022]

I heard the fish on the thumbnail has tasty meat lol

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

+Joshua Moore (FusionGaming) Not sure as I do not eat fish, just do not like the taste Rgds Peter

[@chrisc3197]

Good wild fishing in Thailand no need to pay all this money and big fish for free

[@LJ420_]

Norfolkc still need to go out with all your tackle, or buy it all out they’re and risk not catching anything big or special. Or go to gillhams where they give you the right bait the good rods and the good techniques. You don’t learn that from going to the local river in bangkok

[@paulcooke7913]

commercial monsters it's like a zoo sad

[@generatoroperatordestructo1292]

stock fishing

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

It sure is but hundreds of people enjoy this type of fishing and every man to his own is what I say. Rods Peter

[@Sporkmaker5150]

I can appreciate wanting to return them to the water unharmed, but is such excessive TLC really necessary? I mean we're talking cats here right? I bet you could literally chuck it in the bushes, take a thirty minute lunch break, come back and brush off the ants before putting it back in the lake and it would still be just fine.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

Just think if you have enjoyed catching them what harm is there showing them some respect. Also this water is a commercial water so the fish are very valuable and they wish to take extremely good care of their fish. Cheers peter

[@Sporkmaker5150]

None whatsoever, I was only coming up with an extreme example. It's just that the return procedure seems a bit OCD considering that if they're anything like their North American counterparts they're a nearly indestructible fish.

[@Sills71]

Let's not confuse this ready made fishing with real fishing in public waters.

[@SportquestHolidaysDestinations]

agreed
