Adam Chef Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) hi everybody after midday yesterday I decided to go fishing from a pier at the house in Five Dock Bay, Drummoyne. usually I fish on the lure and pull out a few flatheads or breams, but this time was different. The first throw anything, second throw anything, third and fourth theses nothing but a fifth something has changed, I felt a blow, and after about 2-3 seconds run about 15 seconds, I was surprised because I've never catch anything strong enough teeth stretched me so much line from the reel, I had another 5 runs, for a novice like me it was an amazing experience. fight took me about 15 minutes. the funny thing is that I cot this fish on 2-5kg rod and fishing line 8LB, the fish had 80cm and 7.5 kg in weight. I hope that I still had deals catch such specimens, i dont know how to put more pictures :/ cheers, Adam Edited October 17, 2011 by Adam Chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keflapod Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hey Adam, That's a big fish for such a small rod. The kingfish tries hard to cut the line on the ropes, the rocks and everything ! You say you're a chef. How will you cook it ? From which country are you ? I catch fish to eat and I'm always interested to see how people cook fish in other countries...
