34 kg kingi shot on Saturday down the east coast
My mate told me about this site and I thought you guys might appreciate these pics heres another veiw of it! good to know theres such intrest in this awsome sport
for those who wanted to hear more. Me and my mate went out from Te kaha in my boat to pretty **** conditions with viz about 5 meters or so we hit up a few spots with not much luck on the kingi front seeing just some rats. so we headed in close and started burling up and shooting a few snapper. I droped my gun on a rock to get some kina a next thing this mass of a kingi swarm past so i quiclky dove down and grabed my gun( a 100gun with two rubbers) and chased the kingi for a good 10m before getting my shot off i hit it bang in the middle with the spear coming out near it pectoral fin. it went nuts when i hit it and draged me a good hundy meters before i could get my mate to come over with another gun. by the time he got to me it had pulled me a good 300meters from where i shot it. i pulled him up close to me and got another spear through his head after abit more of a battle a had him by the gills and we got the beast into the boat! was one hell of a mission!
