Can't be a bad as winding up a heavy rig with a couple 15kg Bluenose on from 450m.
I have caught GTs on small gear.
I also don't think the ones down our way are much over 100cm

Was out today between Motiti and Plate. 7 good snapps, 3 Terakihi, 2 giant gurnard and a golden snapper for 2.5hrs.
Caught some beauties, terakihi, trevally, a mako and my favorite snapper best being about 12lbs.
Good day with the boy and old fella.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d8110a957b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...74adaa2b9a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a19e54a710.jpg

Well myself and a forum member went bait soaking today, weather was what the weather was...but the fishing was average out of okiwi up to Delaware where the snapper were last week apperntly...red cod, horse kawahai and spikies...down the coast tried a variety of depths and spots.
Water temp well up finally got a legal blue cod then the forum member chucked ( dropped it over the side) it back whilst measuring it. Eat tucker had a brew or three of tea, grabbed a feed of mussels. Home
Never seen a green penguin before but today we shared some time with one.. interesting wee creatures burbing and farting then after a bit the lose concionius in the front of your boat, though they do respond to "mate you have a fish on with enthusiasm" ...
Cheers to the forum member for a great day out and my daughter for her paitence! A hard days fishing but a fantastic memory all the same.
The gunnels is a bloody stupid place to put your fish measuring device anyway :P
Thanks for yet another great day out, despite all the above
Well I finally got @deer243 out for a fish this morning.
Conditions were fantastic but the fishing was tough.

Lots of baby grey boys and not much else at the prime time of day and tide prompted a change of depth, finally a nice fat snapper on the strayline and a big gurnard boated but then we run out of tide and the shit fish turned up.
Saved by the longline we come in to escape the heat with 6 fat snaps(bloody lost one at the boat it snapped the trace [emoji21]) and a few gurnard.
Coming in "the cut"
