rmzbeast Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Hi All Sorry for the late post..Went to the harbour last Saturday morning at sparrows fart.Set out to do some squiding but only got a few.I decieded to drop a line and fish whilst we we trying for bait.Dropped a full squid out unweighted turned to get a smoke and bang my overhead went off.It was a great fight for around 5 minsgot it in the boat wooohooo and it measured in at around 73cm..great start to the morning. Deceided to go out for a troll as it was just breaking morning and my bro boated a 70cm Salmon on light geat. Not much was diong with the troll so we went to a favourite spot to drift for some kingies.My mate peeled a shitty prawn on a shitty rig threw it out and 2mins later he was on ...He fought it for a few minutes as he was on really light gear and boated a 65cm king.A few minutes later my brother was on and brought in a decent 48cm Flatty. I rigged up the over head with a full squid and dropped out and within 5 minutes zzzzzzzzz i was on.I fought this monster for around 20mins after the fifth minute i was ready to cut the line as it had tired me out.My brother found my gymble and attached it to my which made the world of difference..I had no idea of what this beast was but i know for ever meter i was retreiving he was taking 10.I finally got it to the surface and it was a shark around 1.8-1.9m long.A little dissapointed we let it go but to date it had been the best fight of my life. My King Mates King Brothers nice Flatty My Shark Edited February 4, 2009 by rmzbeast
Richard Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 well done mate, looks like you got one before dawn there, do you often catch kings in dark? Good report, Cheers Richard
