Re: Landbase Kingfish
while it would be nice to think so it's not really that close to the NZ kings. the record austalian kingfish according to the vid is 27kg, the new zealand (and world) record is 52kg and is shared by 2 people both caught in new zealand and it's not just a few fish reaching those sizes I have family in NZ that have caught multiple kings well over the aussie record.seephil wrote::water: :water: Those are stonkers, very much like the ones found in NZ.

Re: Landbase Kingfish
