went out yesterday morning (27/12/13) chasing kingfish, so i fished inside for squid, i caught 0 but my younger brother caught 3 biggest was 35cm hood, blew me away, in a 40min session.
we then left to chase the kings, was quiet all morning and swell was bigger than the forecast predicted, but fished on.
as we were about to leave finally, my brother hooked up, hooked a really big kingfish and was fighting it with a full bent over rod,locked drag and the fish still pulled like it was a kmart kids rod.
he tryed to move to another rod to get a better vantage over the fish, but as he's trying hold the rod, the fish was pulling him in because he couldnt get a proper footing on the mossy rocks, its kinda like water skiing on rocks but a fish pulling instead of a motorboat.
anyway landing a kingfish thats a metre and some long was always gona be a futile battle and the king busted him off at the inner reef.
oh well,,,
