 Now check this King, 42.7 kgs on 24, somewhere up north. If Kieran Pullman had been a member of a club it would have been a world junior record. Caught on a live kawhai, way to go! |

one does NOT need to be a member of any club to have a worldie ratified! but would have need to have been weighed on certified scales and , signed off by a JP at the least, affidavits from crew/angler, leader and a section of mainline retained and all other IGFA regulations/criteria met.....but being a NZBGFC member is not one of them....just helps open the lines of communication between here and Florida and sprrds things up. awesome fish....very awesome!!! well done to thems guys!!!! |

Nice catch, and I would agree with otter but lets be honest, we could catch the biggest Kingfish in the world but given the opportunity we would be out fishing the very next day trying to nab one even bigger  .Well played Kezza1 ------------- Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught. |
