Wow !!! great catch Mate !!! where ?

Northland off Marsden Point

You bet I am.

To tell the truth this was caught by an ol' timer off the beach and he let us take a pic with it as he could not lift it...so we helped him load on his quad to take home. Personally I would have given back to the sea as a breeder...but he would have no part of that comment...haha! He said it was his first and he was eating it. This fish had to be at least 40 years old!
