hawkeye Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) Hey Guys and girls my mate and i were fishing our regular spot near Blues Point with 6 lb bream gear when my mate hooked and landed this nice little King went 67 cm to the fork of the tail and put up a great fight on lite gear. Hawkeye Ps any rough indication how much it might weigh as we had no scales and released it unharmed Edited May 31, 2007 by mrs rzep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve07 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Mate great catch u got there,thats a nice kingy from the shore it would have put up a top fight on the 3kg line,usually a 60cm legal king is around the 2kg mark,so your fish there would be at least 3kg and a bit over that,well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks guys we guessed around 3 kgs compared to bream/ size weight so thanks for the confirmation the bait was a hawksbury river prawn we made so much noise during the 15 minute fight people came out of their units to see what was going on and gave a round of applause as it was landed Hawkeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
