Went back to the spot where my boy got the 10lber last week and met up with 3 others. A few waves but we all got out clean. Everyone was catching except for me, I was just feeding small bluecod $2 crazyleg baits.
Anyway I did get a 70cm kingie and a pannie when my reel screamed off. After a good fight where my braid was close to the backing I managed to get the fish up expecting another ratking but was very pleased to see the big red tail.
Thought it might go 15lb but the fattie went to 20lb. Managed to get a stringer onto it as wouldnt fit in my pod ![]()
Luckily yesterday I fitted a stringer just in case of the big one. Came in carefully thru the surfzone. Adrenalin still pumping.
Look at the guts on it
