catfish in Lake Taupo
Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

I thought it was around the first bays up from Turangi heading to Taupo. They have organised hunts, I think spearing them every now and then. Is there an underwater club in Taupo? They'd know

Pull them inside out and they're ready for the hot plate! Got invited to shoot Koi Carp this summer the other day, another introduced species to good old NZ
