My first elephant fish
views: 282 | Jan 11, 2021

totally stoked. After many nights trying, I finally got a nice one. These elephant fish are very elusive and can only be caught at certain times of the year on the South Island and lower North Island of New Zealand. I thought I might have already missed the season but was lucky to hook into this beauty. They put up an immense fight.

Great catch ! I have never seen an elephant fish in real life let alone catch one!! Don't tell me...you use peanuts to catch them?? haha :)

they are really cool looking fish, aye? I got him on half a banana prawn. These guys prefer shellfish baits. Mussels, crabs and prawns is the way to go. But maybe you're onto something with the peanuts. I shall try next time, LOL

Haha, the ears were missing. I wonder what would be the equivalent to a mouse in the sea. Maybe they are afraid of seahorses. ?
