We caught the slimeys about 200m from middle head, going towards manly. We seen surface action so we thought we'll try some lures, also spotted them west of bradleys head. Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

Mate the gear we had was not meant for this fish but we pulled it off. 35lb mono line with 60lb trace. 7-12kg rod and okuma eb40 reel.

Here's the video

Thanks guys, Yeah we trolled the livie. But this kingie took the livie before i could get to the throttle

Gday guys, Went out today with my brother, and a few mates out on their boat. On the water at 3am, no luck with squid till 5am. spotted some surface action, so we checked it out. Turned out to be slimey's, got 5 into the tank. Trolled various spots with no luck, headed to rose bay around 8.30am and my brother threw out a livie, put the rod into the rod holder, turned his back and sat down, looked up and he was on! Never seen line pulled out so hard with the drag done up tight. He said it was over a metre, but i couldnt believe it until ive seen it with my own eyes. After about 10-12 minute fight, it surfaced and i couldnt believe the size of this thing. Few weeks back i threw out the gaff due to rust, and had only the net which was no help. I got down and managed to grab the kingie behind its gills and pull this monster in. It went 125cm and 15kg. We were wrapped. Who ever saw the kingie couldnt believe we pulled it out of sydney harbour. Video coming soon.
