Thread: Kawahai on lightweight setups

I am sure my setup will hold and the feeling could be like fighting with a king fish. The picture is in Auckland, everybody knows where is. I used 2.4m ML rod, 2.0 braid line with heave leader say 50lbs. Yeah, I did caught lots of Kahawai, just this fish has no taste at all....
