That is a beauty. Shore fishing or kayak?

😉 I got it from the beach using a big Kahawai live bait with a balloon 🎈

Absolutely! It was the first time for me! Actually, I couldn't have pulled this monster with a rod and a reel out of the water. Handline was easier and quicker to get him out of the water. 😂

There will be an awesome video about that catch coming up on our Youtube channel soon :)

The hand line I used had no reel('a centre pin). I purely pull the line. I felt like it is easier than a rod and a real.

First time I heard of Rumble, OMG yet another social media video platform, LOL Bu managing a Youtube, a Tiktok and an Instagram account is already overwhelming enough. My brain can't deal with any more platforms at the moment :)

The kingie could have easily been landed with rod and reel but it was so much more fun on a hand line as we haven't done that before. We met up with a local YouTuber ( Weka Digital Media NZ ) and he is a Pro catching them on a handline. Next time we'll try with an Alvey :)

HANDLINE????? F#@*KKKKKKKKKKK ME!! WOW!!! You sure must have some hard core wrist strength and a grade lines, oops, I meant line!!! That's a mad catch, did anyone with u get to film any of the catch... that'd be mad to watch!!! Thanks for posting that, even though I'm filthy jealous, (jokes), you've got me excited, 'reely' you have.. apparently in 3 days there will be fish in Frankston!!?????!! LOL.. doubt it, last time I went fishing off the internet's advice the only thing I caught was a young dude, high as a kite, who had lost his seeing glasses and his way, literally he didn't even know why he was at the pier!!! or how he'd got back from the snoop dogg concert in the city!!??!! ANYWAY, made sure he was safe, took him under my wing, and got ONE bite in 8 hours...😭🤣😆😆😅😂🤣😆😉.. better luck 4 me next time hey??? Peace out people and fair fishing to ALL... G1✌💚💡
