good going Stormmy!!! Answer me this peoples....why is it that divers always come back from the splash saying "there were heaps of moki down there?" Why the hell haven't I ever caught one? ------------- I am Kermit, Leader of Muppets Nov 05 |

| its true though divers do see a heck of a lot of moki when your diving i know from experience but you never seem to get that many when you fish for them in exactly the same spot as you see them :) what make this one amazing is where i caught it, i dont know if any of you know wellington but i got it along a small stretch of road called cobham drive which is near the airport |

Stormbringer.... you can claim records without being part of a club......will just cost you loads to get eh application processed....We (NZBGFC) don't hold records for Blue Moki and nor do the IGFA. Perhaps seek advice from NZCA - http://www.fishing.net.nz/organisations/nzaca/index.cfm">Look Here ------------- I am Kermit, Leader of Muppets Nov 05 |

The NZ spearfishing record is 10.22kg for Blue Moki taken in Wellington in 1958. Id say thats gotta be a bloddy good fish by todays standards Stormbringer...well done. Ive seen spots on the south coast where schools of up to 20 5-8# fish will school around you with the odd big boy hanging out wider. I accidentily shot a copper moki off Kapiti last year in the North Island Champs, that was the first Id ever seen and just assumed it was a standard Blue... Shame!, for the Moki and for us, would of ment 2nd place.

Awesome catch Stormbringer. Thats a big fish. I hadn't seen this thread earlier as I usually have no reason to wander into the 'Trophy Cabinet'! Steve Reed mentioned this fish to me about a week ago. Good to see some pics and hear from the captor. He said you were chasing snapper....not a bad by-catch! Keep up the good skills. Must have been a hell of a fight. Mars |
