netic Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Well Done. 15KG Main Line with 6kg Leader just doesnt sound right...... And 2 hours to pull up a 15kg king also doesnt sound right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendo B Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 15kg main line and 6kg leader? You're doing it wrong. it wasnt our gear im geussing the charter did that cause the rod was 6kg and only a small threadline he wanted the leader to snap before anything else ? thats the only reason i could think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendo B Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Well Done. 15KG Main Line with 6kg Leader just doesnt sound right...... And 2 hours to pull up a 15kg king also doesnt sound right.... yeah you are right we dont think the skipp had the drag up enough cause in the end me and my cousin got jack of it and tightend it up ourselfs the skipp would let us touch it then 2 min later it was in maybe if we had done it 45 min before it would been boatside who knows but he had some big runs everytime we got him close to the boat he would take off again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul fishfeeder Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 mate great effort,don't matter how long it would have been a great battle.can't wait to play in the bay goin next week.where did u get them inside or out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim77 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Nice fish and a great effort on that light gear... But there is no way that that fish is 15 Kg. More realistically it could have been 15lbs, which is about 7kg, which judging by the size of it looks about right. Anyway - whatever, good fish, would have been a nice bonus when you probably weren't necessarily targetting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1990 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 in my experience, a very healthy 1m king is about 8-9kg. Agree this isn't 15kg, but it could be 10-12 if it was in really good condition. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchin Jack Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Regardless of the weight of this kingy, it's a nice catch and a happy fisherman that caught it, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
