A legal size kingie is a trophy of lifetime , it is a long time effort, an experience and can not compare with the kingie in the shop as they are not fresh, i am still try to catch one ,well done mate.
That is my dream fish and my next target, caught about 15 jew fishes for the last 10 years, the largest one go 73 cm about 5 kilo but never caught that big, great job and keep going as i can imagine the happy face you having at that moment,cheers.
there are fishes up river, i caught three breams in an hour. one 33 cm. two of them around 27cm.good fight,especially now winter past so don't give up.
