Largest Sydney Harbour King?

I was just curious what is the biggest king anyone has heard of caught from in the harbour in recent years? Would be great if there were any pics to go along with these fish. Looking for anything above 130cm.

I have seen a 1m off clifton gardens wharf but its a once a year thing.

I run into more kings off the rocks. But they are harder to land then in harbour.

Its a trade off for me

Encounters vs landing

In my calculus i need to encounter them first before i can land them

Yeah that was me haha, that’s why I was asking, was wondering if it’s one of the biggest landed in middle harbour.

I got a 2m king… in my dream

Keep trying and you’ll eventually get a big one 😁. That’s how i got my first. Should take my own advice too tho because I haven’t tried for them in a while.

Well done mate I've been fishing that spot a bit this winter with little success, certainly is a once in a lifetime fish! Good stuff

Biggest I got out of Sydney was 107cm. In 8 metres of water, over rough country at Middle Head. My brother Greg has bagged “roughly” a dozen over 1metre all within middle harbour during the past 20yrs. 
Though he definitely puts in the hours. 
Biggest I am aware of in middle harbour went approximately 1.4metres. 
a pro nailed it a few seasons back up near Pickering Point on the Drop Off.
