Any kingie on softbait gear is a meritorious catch, and from a kayak is even more impressive. Tangaroa gave you his blessings that day, though, mate - handlining in a kingie at the end could have gone horribly wrong! I was just waiting for the leader to ping. All's well that ends well!
Cheers mate, hand lining was a calculated risk, my new net is deep but wouldn’t have engulfed enough of the fish and I only purchase top shelf fluorocarbon which gives me faith 👍
Wasn’t worried about measuring it Matt, straight back into the water, showing respect to Tangaroa and the fish 👍 All my biggest Kings and Snapper have been released, I don’t need actual numbers as it’s the fight remember 👍I
I’ve still got the Reload, adding the 400 means we have the full range of Viking fishing yaks, they all have there positives and negatives and I plan to cover that in future vids
impressive how u were maneuvering that kayak in those rough waters. gr8 effort on landing that king on the softbait setup
Like the hatch up the front. Better than the little screw cap on the old model.
There’s actually a heap of changes compared to the old 400
A massive fish. What a memory. Congrats on the new kayak.
Cheers Terry 👍
Awesome Loz!!! you mad bastard, that swell was really rolling into that point.

Wicked mate!
Cheers Braddles 👍
Nice looking yak. Is that a custom colour you had done?
Yep sure is, both my 400 and Reload have the same colours, I call it white wasp 👍
@yakfishfun8441 looks fantastic. I just ordered a Profish GT but had no idea about custom colours - must have to be a Viking VIP!
Bloody good fish, did u get a measurement? Also I think you should invest it a lip Gaff, makes landing big fish much easier. Legend...
