In the video, the announcer can be seen congratulating the teenager on his win after he landed a fish using breadworms as bait, managing to catch the one closest to the competition’s target weight of 2.2kg.
The announcer later asked Haikal, who had attended the event with his family, what he planned to do with the prize money, and he revealed his heartfelt intention to give the entire amount to his parents.
The event also featured other cash prizes, with the second-place winner taking home RM40,000 and the third-place winner receiving RM20,000.
“Today’s game was really lively. Thanks to everyone who came out to support, you’re truly all amazing. Congratulations to our young champion. See you again at the next game,” Den Kolam Pancing wrote in the comments section.
