Operation liberty (fishing)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Operation Liberty is the brainchild of Mike Goh, a Singapore resident who is also one of the current Consultants of Fishingkaki. It is a movement advocating Catch and Release in angling and promotes sport fishing. Basically, the operation involves catching fish in commercial fishing ponds and releasing them into the open seas at the end of the day.
The first ever Operation Liberty was in 20th July 2002. The event was organised by Mike Goh through the Fishingkaki Internet Forum. The location was Pasir Ris Fishing Pond. About 20 anglers responded and more than 50 fishes were released.
Operation Liberty is now at its 11th installment, with the latest one held in 2005 where 120 fishes was released by more than 30 participating anglers. So far, almost 500 fishes have been released into Singapore waters by way of this operation.
