Just last week (20th Jan2010) I was on my first charter with 6 mates at "Ranfurly Banks" on "Rick Pollicks" boat "PURSUIT" based "Whakatane" when I was lucky to land a 44 kg Yellow Tail Kingfish. Caught on 37kg mono "6" bar black magic hook and Gimble harness. Fight time to land 25 minutes, many thanks to "Rick (captain) and deckie "Zane" for their tremendous knowledge and skills helping secure this prize fish.
