Thread: Kahawai

Lucked out on the Kingfish up around Abel Tasman the last few days, so had a fish from the beach at the inlet to Torrent Bay and got this one, half way through fighting him there was a real big splash and flash of colour and all of a sudden the Kahawai seemed to have gained twenty times the power of a normal Kahawai and was stripping line like crazy...... After a while and just before I was about to run out of line he went back to being a normal Kahawai and I landed him, take a look at his back, im thinking a Kingy slammed him while I had him on the line? Was pretty exciting stuff on the wee rod!
