Cheers mate was a fair tussle, I try and take my time on a fight like that as Kingfish can go straight for bottom/reef if you try and go too hard on them.
Looking forward to the water warming up for another go.

One day I'm hoping to catch a kingy. It's on my bucket list

Definitely worth being on the bucket list. So why not have a crack this Summer? Maybe the RIP or from the new reefs.

Don't know PPB but be good for you to get one out of your home Port.

I'm hoping to to NZ in 2024 for some trout fishing, I will probably do a couple of Kingy charters as well

Yeah, I'm a bit excited. I went to NZ about 14 years ago and caught so many monster trout but this time I'm going after Kingies and snapper as well

Most were on lures and spinners, I could only bring so much gear. I hired a campervan, well, more a long wheel base van, for 2 weeks and just looked at maps and went fishing. The rivers have a lot of big fish in them, most lake fishing seemed to be done by locals using fly rods. It was ridiculous, you would pull into the main street of a town and there would be huge trout just chilling around the bridges, lol. I'm not the best fly fisho going around, ha
