Sweet fish bro. Should write a song about the trip

And it made the Sunday paper, well up.

Awesome catch! Probably getting a bit late in the season for kings at this stage. The more known spots might still be holding a few though. 

If you strike out on the kings, stick on a metal lure for some tailor. There's plenty of decent size ones around and they are a fun by-catch.

200kg for a first up Marlin is a great start, now to bag one on the Ski, like this crazy Kiwi

I've tried a couple of times off the ski at spots like the Banks off Jervis Bay but no luck! That would be an interesting battle solo. I didn't realise how important the driver is during the battle. They do the most work!
