My First Kingy From The Rocks

[ANGLERnotDANGLER]

my first ever live bait off the rocks produced this kingy about 2 months ago. no gaff my mate just wrapped the leader and pulled him up.

he went 11kg
in the photo he doesnt llok as big as some other pics but put into consideration i'm 6ft 3 he doesnt do too bad.

Top kingie

[ANGLERnotDANGLER]

yes we now have a gaff!! my mates hands were busted up a bit afterwards so we invested in one.
fishing at the eaves in jervis bay. i hooked another one just as big that day but got busted on the rocks.
was a bit of a fluke admittedly. he swallowed the whole bait and swam straight to us. the reel i was using was borrowed and was old with a real lumpy drag, almost pulled me in.
since that day i have invested im my own gear. yet to hook up on it though.

Nice kingie & off the rocks as well. Can't beat the thrill of a big fish caught on land.

if u didnt use a gaff whats with the pile of blood undert he fish ;) ;D

[ANGLERnotDANGLER]

the pile of blood would have been caused from the hook. he swallowed the entire livie and we found the k\hook inside him. so i'd imagine the blood is from lifting him up 2 metres on to the rocs supported by the hook in his gut.

nice fish ;) don't they go like the clappers . got my first off the rocks in april this year whilst snapper fishing in newzealand with a few mates . was caught on squid using a rovex big boss 4500 spooled with 30lb braid on a custom rod . not a big fish but fun to fight on the pebbles ;)
