Trip Summary
Despite a relatively slow kingfish bite during February the fish seem to be getting a little hungrier of late. This trip was a 3 day adventure with 3 Aussie regulars and while the snapper fishing was insane the kingfish only mediocre until the last day when the bite came on and the 3 anglers onboard all landing nice fish until the end of the day a monstrous fish was hooked nearly reefing the angler on the reef below. Eventually getting the huge kingfish boatside we were all stunned by the proportions of this fish. Easily in the 30kg bracket some quick pics were taken before releasing it back to the ocean...what a day!
