nanman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi guys, I've been in NZ over last couple of weeks to watch some of the cricket World Cup games and bit of a holiday driving around the country. One of the stopovers on the South Island was at Westport. I had been itching to go fishing but only got my first chance there. On first day I went looking for spots and went to one of the piers and watched this amazing sunset. On day two I went to a local tackle shop to get some tackle & advice then headed to the pier again. I was told that Kahawai were easy pickings there so decided to target them with few metal lures. I had few follows after few casts no hookups. After about 30 casts my spoon lure was taken by what I thought was a small Kahawai but after winding in closer it finally realised it was hooked and started going nuts. It must have been around 3kg & I knew I couldn't lift it in but I wasn't planning to keep it anyway so tried lifting without much care.. You can watch the video on the link below. https://vimeo.com/120268351 This is the lure I got it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Well done. A very patiently controlled fight. They pull well on light tackle, don't they. Was the footage taken on a go pro? Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
