Indeed Rob thats a great fish and I think the Angler is a better man than me as a 50+ king would look stunning up on the wall at my batch ------------- http://www.boulderguiding.co.nz">  http://www.boulderguiding.co.nz">www.boulderguiding.co.nz |

What comes to mind is, if it was caught later on the trip, say 1 day to go would have they kept it on ice or still let it go?.. ------------- http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow"> MH... Catch measure release...<*))))< |

Don't think it really matters what would or could have happened, it was a great catch and good on them for letting it go, regardless of the reason why

Fantastic fish. Well done Walter. There aren't many that size around so, much respect for letting it live. I've been wondering when a 50 plus fish would finally be landed on a jig from the Kings. Just got to figure out how to move them down the coast a bit now. ------------- Taking sportfishing charters to the next level. Blue Water Adventures Ltd Whangaroa / Bay of Islands |
