Man it looks tiny aye!! Even @Danny could have got that one

That lure is 220mm long so I estimate it at about 90-95cm. Great little scrap before work. Think he was happy to swim away

Nice one

It was one of my dreams back in my surfcasting days to catch a Kingi off the rocks.
Got a boat now but doesn't seem the same as being stuck on one spot to fight it.

I like the fact that some hunters get too good at shooting deer, so take up bow hunting to up the challenge. You don't hear of many people giving up the boat to try for fish off the rocks

I wouldn't give up the boat, but I still go surfcasting every now and again ( although you have to do a fair bit of driving to get near any good spots from where I am).

Yeah not wrong there. Had a mate just sell his lovely 7m+ whitepointer as he doesn't need it for the land based stuff he does. Even when he used it he would drive to a coast or island and fish from the rocks.

I guess I am spoiled in my location, have beaches and rocks everywhere and a handful of boats to choose from.

Yeah man, we are pretty spoiled with inshore spots here. When the conditions are right the spearing there can be damn good also. Seen a monster dory there about 25m from shore in probably 2.5 m of water

Those boys go hard. They went on a No Boundaries charter in Oman with the Morning Tide boys a month or two back. Jake got a donkey YFT on a Massimo stick. Ratshit thing was he lost his laptop with most of the footage

Weather has been epic all week and isn't letting up either

Don't even need to dive it. Just work a soft plastic and you're usually in the money. Head to Matakana mate, change of light. They're going off at the moment and they aren't small either. Biggest one was north of 20, and smallest 15.
