DogFish has claimed the first snapper pin of the 2005/2006 season with a monster 12.93kg fish (weighed-in at Taranaki Hunting & Fishing store) And he did it from a Yak - as he says in his fishing report. Well done - that's going to take some beating this year!

Thanks for the Pin Bender, and thanks for all the congrat's guys. Tomsta, at a $1,000 to put it on the wall, and $30 to put it in the smoker, I decided to save the $1k for the new Big Game Fish Kayak: marlin, tuna, etc...LOL DogFish |

Yeah I don't think I'd really like to go Man-on-Marlin from a yak, certainly not with any of the big buggers we get here in NZ. Tuna and kingies...now that should be fun! Unfortunately, getting tuna off Taranaki usually requires quite a lot of open water trolling, hence the need for a longer and faster fishing yak. DogFish

Yeah way to go Dogfish that is one damn good fish made all the more so by catching it out of a Yak. I wonder how long the Yak Marlin pin will go vacant for.....
