figure it was on a Live Bait Fishb8

never mind all that its a bloody monster either way "how/where/in" just makes it all that much more exciting.

Massive fish Well done
Was listening to CH4 when they were trying to get it in the boat.
Fish of a lifetime.
No such excitement for me.
Launched out of Oakura at 1030 went out to the V after Turtle gave me the heads up on good bait out there. Very quiet out that end of the block today.Plenty of action around the chicks.
Can anyone tell me where the Knolls are?? seems to be the hot spot at the moment.
Wednesday could be a go me thinks,

great catch

interesting if it was from hen and chicks and not too far from the mokes as to what chances it is the same fish caught by tony orton and crew in the beach and boat last year given how few blacks we catch in nz.  think they estimated that at a little shy of this weight.

any whoo there probably should have been a tag in it if it was

fish of a lifetime

As Supermodel said we stuck to the north end and side from a couple of skippies, saw nothing.
did not hear of any yft tuna caught today so I wonder if they have started to head for the BOP?

Awesome fish alright, well done to those guys. Sambosi if all the boats stayed inside of 100m and towed live baits or skip baits, you might be quite surprised how many black marlin are hooked and landed. There is very good water in fairly close all along the coast this year by the sounds of it so there will be a fair few blacks hanging around the normal haunts. I wouldn't be chasing a kingi with a live kahawai on anything less than an 80lb outfit this year.

Yip, Coppermine reef was the lucky spot. Had been living there for a while. Friends saw it when chasing kingies a month ago and tried live baiting to catch it on their jigging rods. Lucky escape for them me thinks. They said it was big but I didn't click as to how big it truely was. These guys heard about it and went hunting. Good on them. Fish of a lifetime.
We fished north of the Knights yesterday too. A bit lumpy but quiet day for us. One guy had 3 hookups behind the Knights. Most of the Tut's game boats seemed to be south around the Knolls , H&C, Oceans areas. A few sharks dealt to lures too and cost some dollars to those who ventured into their waters. Shark alley is alive and well.
Looks like better weather ahead so Nautigirls should be a go next weekend.

Stunning fish for sure. I think we have more blacks around our coast line than most think there are. If people spent more time just fishing the bait schools it would be interesting. We have already had one bait hit by a Marlin in shallow water this year. We bump our leaders up to 150lb fluro this time of the year hahahahaha.

80% sure we saw a black last weekend around the bait. If it wasn't it was a dark dark stripy

Thanks Marloon hunter, i was going by the rib on the inside of the boat, and the colour of the rod holder being black, i was guessing,
i found the footage someone else must have filmed as they brought the monster aboard,
i doubt anyone will beat that sized fish this year, good luck for the rest off the season.

last link never worked

Fished out from Marsden cove off Oceans in 115-120 range. Got a bite out of a workup but dropped it. A few more fish around in 130 off Taiharuru going by the RT. Weather today kept all but the very hardy Nauti Girls in port.

Went out from marsden cove on Friday morning to mokes then 155 then out to 300. Got a stripey on at 280 and then straightened the hook after getting it close to the boat. A bit weird as we didn't put much pressure on it. Picked up a gemfish then back to the mokes for the night. Worked the area 120m off oceans on sat for another shot, good fish but spat the hook tailwalking. Watched another boat (the yellow one) playing a fish which was cool. 3 times now I have come up to an area which I've marked 120m off oceans and every time I've come into the area I've taken a shot or seen one there. Is there an area of foul around there? Nothing showing on the charts but do see little bits on the sounder at the bottom every now and then. Noticed a commercial boat had a bouy there a couple of weeks ago which he came out and retrieved, I'm assuming he was doing longlining on the bottom.

I don't know the 120m area good enough to say if good foul there TK, but I do know the 120m down to and off the eastern side of the Chicks has been an ole school area known from long ago as Tuna Alley for the days when Yellowfin Tuna were prevalent.

Yes we marked lots of small schools of fish on the bottom. The sign wasn't quite right to be frostfish so I suspected Tarakihi as the bottom wasn't mud, but we didn't stop and drop to see what they were. 
As far as I know no real structure out there.
