Great stuff, mate. That's huge. Thanks for taking the time to post - great photos and an awesome catch.
you don't seem like one to blow your own trumpet, but editing the heading to "Huge East Cape kingie" would get your story the attention it deserves from the Forum regulars...

Hi guys and gals, long time reader here but haven't posted much.
I thought I'd share some pics of the beast of a kingy I landed recently.
Went 130cm and was a fat good condition fish, couldn't weigh it but it had to be pushing 30kg if not over.
I wouldn't Normally take a fish this size home (especially with a 1.5 hour hike) but he was hooked deep in the guts and was done when landed. Shared the meat with some greatful campers and locals so it was not wasted. ]]> Sat, 18 Mar 2023 12:43:14 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137532&PID=1832275&title=huge-east-cape-kingfish-landbased#1832275
