Wow, I live 5 mins from here and never knew big Kings would be around there. Nice job landing that one, luck was definitely on your side a few times. Not sure I heard any drag, your gear held up great through that ordeal. Damn nice video mate, even years later worth watching again.
Opposite that barge on the corner me and the old man back in the 1960s were fishing there and the old mans rod just went up and shot into the water like it was fired from a gun. It was mulloway season but getting Kingies there is mind blowing. I had no idea huge Kingies were going there, you did real well landing that I thought you'd break off at that barge.
Good bloody King! I managed to hook two of them up the same day on light tackle while searching for salmon. There was no stopping them on 12lbs mono. Had to buy a new reel after that!
That was dock one port adelaide matt d . At the time the clipper ship adelaide was floating in dock one . You can see the kingies swimming around in there in late spring big ones hundreds they rest there. The clippers now in dock 2 . 20 bucks gets you a tour dock one is closed for renos only accessable by sea
They pull the hardest. I used to dread hooking one when I was a little boy fishing with handlines from my dad's boat. Having one eat the small fish I caught. Horse size ones would come and hang around the boat. It was always five seconds of deeply cut fingers then cut off on the reef.
Amazing! How did you land that mate!!!! The runs under the boat barge thingy. DEAR GOD!!!! Exceptional effort. All i'm gonna say is Hobie Kayak. Hands free paddling. ;-)
Love it! Nothing more exciting than catching a big fish, especially in a kayak. I was laughing when you were netting him because, I'm thinking, you need a bigger net! Haha. Nice work! I'm sure you put in the time and effort with that one! Can I ask whether you used a lure or bait and if it was bait, was it a livie?
Top effort mate Litt. Kinda wished you could have done it without all the swearing so I could show my son. I'm a yakka so I know the effort put in .Great work but stop swearing

where is that port?
@@nikko4444 Port Adelaide. I think it was called Dock One, or is now that they built apartments there

Great job! When you're breathing like you're giving childbirth, that's the sign of a serious fish at the end of that line.
That’s fucking awesome mate. No one can ever say you didn’t earn that fish. Impressive you didn’t roll the yak too. 👍
What a catch! You basically used your kayak as drag haha
Coles bag, pluggas and salvaged yak😅. Best fisho's don't need the modern conveniences.
Well bloody done for landing that in the precarious situations you where in
Solid effort mate 👌

Watching your kayak get hopelessly towed by this fish was terrifying
Well done. You need to get some clips attached to your yak to clip your paddle into though.
Mate this is one of my favourite kayak vids! Crazy stuff saw it on the news i was so impressed!!! What setup are you using there?
