World record Kingfish speared

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o33yKfj9SR0

big, kingy, good thing he rigged up with a float, or might have good a tow job to the deep

Mean

what a fish! i really want to do some of this but that not seeing the bottom gives me the shits....

Amazing fish. All of those kingys must have been absolute donkeys given that one didn't look much bigger...

Impressive seeing it pull that float underwater, regular legal kingys barely even pull the nose of the float under

@LOC that was a big float too. Definitely bigger than what most spearos are use in NZ.

that twin rubber roller gun is a serious piece of kit too, more of a bluewater marlin gun than a kingy gun.

he looked very calm and organised once he had it on too, slick moves with the shark clip and second float and a smooth transition to the second gun. i'd be hyperventilating and squealing like a little girl with that beast on the end of a spear...

bet if he weighed it earlier than 26 hours later it would have gone over 50kg, losing 300gm to dehydration would certainly be possible

any idea where it was shot @veitnamcam ? three kings???

It looks a lot like 3 kings to me but I have only ever seen it on tv.
I did see the shooter at three kings with matt watson on tv a few nights ago so Id say its a pretty safe bet.

The thought of getting tangled and pulled/held under gives me the shits.

Don't ever take me fishing then.
That can happen just getting my rods ready.

Mmmmm twin roller
Just wat I need for the crystal clear South Island waters

The thing that would worry me is holding a large, bleeding fish that is struggling madly in an area that is bound to harbour a BIG mako or two.

There is that too but I would be more concerned about drowning than getting eaten.

Woo bloody hoo. What a rush that would have been.

He had 26 hours to load snapper leads into it haha

Yeah I'm sure it would've cracked 50kg if weighed straight away.
@veitnamcam , that'd be my concern too- doesn't take much to get tangled in those lines if not being careful. Couple that issue with trying to deal with a fish that strong & you really need to stay alert.
