We do get the occasional GT up here off Cape Karikari, its very hit and miss but can pay off big time as the ones passing our coast are very big...this one was the only one I hooked during this years run.   I have a good video of me landing this fish, needs some serious editing before I publish it.

Wow, the mythical karikari GT lives. Was this off the most northern island? Like the one 1200km north of the others?
