they are great fish i was over in nz with 7 mates in feb, and we had a ball. we fished with slipray charters and a very well ran boat, we fished 5 days with over 300 kings on jigs sea bass and countless snapper on bait and plastic, but nothing that fat, but not far off, the biggest king we got was about 15kg and snapper about 6kg. the charter for us cost under 2k each from the time you walked out the front door at home till the time we got home and we all came home with 10kg of snapper fillets each and 6-8kg on the gut, the food on the boat was out of this world...
