Persistence pays off!!!

Yellowtail Kingfish (Scientific name - Seriola lalandi), Kingys, Kings, Hoodlums, Bandits or "Rat Kings" are a strong, exciting gamefish that strike savagely at a wide range of lures, live baits and dead or cut fish fillets. Victorian Yellowtail Kingfish reports right here.

Wow Steve, best report, post and thread I have read. Well done & congratulations to all concerned, especially Scott (not sure if Steve was a Stowaway but if he was, hope he tells me his hiding spot , , , , take me, take me, take me).

But what an awesome post on an awesome day out, the best aspect is the mate-ship, it has that "feel good" about it it. Yes, fish are good too but there is more to fishing than just the fish.

This report has everything , , , , the reality that fish are hard to come by and persistence does pay off, the excitement, the surface bust ups, the sharing of info, the throw backs AND the keepers , , , , and what would a fishing story be with out "the one that got away". It even had the Movie Star Sunglasses and the beaming smile , , , , why heck, it even had an Anthony , , , , gotta love the Anthony.

Glad you got a Kingfish tick on your "To do list" , , , , seems another box was ticked

Great work Mozz, I haven't had a more delicious fish than a Kingie on the spot.
i had the oppotunity to have some tuna sashimi when i caught the bluefin at portfairy but i forgot about it as it was getting very late and i had to finish filleting a tuna that i had NFI how to do and there was people waiting in line behind me with more tuna to clean.
i wasnt going to let this chance slip away.
