wacko Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi folks, Sorry guys, I had a computer blow-out at home so it's taken me a while to upload some of the vids. Heres the main one of that Big King on the popper. I wish we'd gotten the 'strike' on film.......we didnt have the camera rolling for the first few casts.....who expects a fish like that on the second throw???!!! LOL! Enjoy guys, Cheers, Wacko.

HighSpeedSpin Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Nice wacko those big boys are normaly down south but good to see that a few are still around Sydney, and for it to take a popper is priceless Well done HSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boattart Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Great fish and video but that's no way to treat a Saltiga rod and reel after the fish is landed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmon_Hunter Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Jack, You owe me a new net!!!!!!!! Im going to keep that thing as a trophy of the day the beast was landed. That footage is insane, and as you know the first time ive seen it. Good stuff!!! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That footage is insane, and as you know the first time ive seen it. Good stuff!!! Bill I think you were a bit optomistic thinking you were going to lift that in a $10.00 net. Haven't you guys heard of gaffs?? Again awsome fish and great work to get it to the boat let alone in it.. Boy that rod and reel can take some punishment dragging that fish out to deeper water at that speed. A great team effort boys and a well deserved prize.

wacko Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thanks guys! Yeah, we were lucky with that net! We did have a gaff but it had'nt been organised and I was still uncertain if I wanted to release the fish or not. I saw that the hooks were well embedded in the fish's mouth and also tangled in the netting....so we just hauled it onboard! Pretty lucky........and stupid! LOL P's- For the guys who have PM'd me.......I will get there with your replies! I've had computer issues so can't really reply at work.......but I promise I will get back to everyone.

plankton Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Kings like this one will be more common in the future. The conditions here in Sydney are similar to that of NZ and since the banning of the fish traps there is nothing stopping them from getting this big!
