dogtooth Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) Well after last weeks effort on the Kings it was decided to Give Botany Bay another go . Launched the boat early deployed some Blue swimmer traps and headed to the bait grounds . Managed to pick up 3 tailor on our travels . In went the livie and a slow troll around my favourite Kingfish grounds . As my mate Fish missed out last week , he was first on strike . An hour or so went past and the reel began to scream , almost was smoking, 30 seconds later pop ... Damm rubbed off on the bottom . Well that king was in excess of 20 kg ... Put another livie out for a swim 20 minutes later the reel starts to scream no way near the sound that was before . My mate fish did a top job on the rod and was truely rewarded with a new PB and a top king 11.5kg and 1130 mm long High fives all round . Headed home and found 2 nice blue swimmer crabs eating off my kingie frame from last week . Will let the Pictures do the talking Cheers Dogtooth .... John... Fish with 11.5 KG king Here the crab Pics..... Edited November 15, 2008 by dogtooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougz77 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Mate Top Fish. Excellent to see such an awesome king. The first king that dusted you was bigger then i must have been massive!! Glad that you were able to get a variety from the Bay. Dougs77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King slayer Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Mate, Top catch. Looks like there are a few around like that if you know where to go. To get these 1m plus trucks in our harbours is really something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesquidking Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Awsome catch once again Dogtooth, Like the other guys said to catch two kings over 1m within two weeks of each other is insane.
