The guys met at 830am and started fishing at about 10am. By 1plus, my ah bi still hasn't caught anything. By 3 plus, ah bi still hasn't caught anything yet. So me as the wife and the helper prayed to God, "God please let my ah bi catch something. You're a God who promises us abundant blessings and if you will just say the word, the fishes will come."
Many miles away at the waters off Ubin, lao gong prayed to God, "God I still haven't caught anything yet. I have faith in you and I know you like to do things that are impossible. Though there's not supposed to be big fishes here, I claim that you're a God that gives us more than what we ask for. So i'm gonna hook a super big bait to get a super big catch."
The fishing theory is that if the fishes available is small, you cannot use big baits cos the fishes will just nibble the meat but not get hooked up. So the size of the baits used has to be proportionate to the size of the catch expected.
After the prayer and the act of faith, lao gong cast his rod and within less than a minute, lao gong hooked up a big stingray. He fought the stinbgray for quite a while and when he finally weighed it, the stingray weighed a hefty 10kg. It doesn't look 10kg but it's that heavy cos it's a super thick stingray.
And yes our cell group and some other church members had a stingray feast that night =D

They threw it back in (alive) cos it's too small to cook shark's fin
The Last Minute Catch
Aftermath of the fishing trip
For two weeks, the floor in my house was filled with skin from my hubby's back and body. EeeeeeeFinal words: Thank you Jesus for the miraculous catch. Though the boatman said that there weren't big fishes , yet you brought a 10-kg stingray to us and provided us with such fresh tender stingray for supper. Thank you Lord!!!!
