Let's start this Forum off right 
This will be the thread where I post all my polespear adventures as they happen. Other NZ spearos, please feel free to post your own polespear stories and photos.
First up: my best yellowtail kingfish by polespear to date. 23 kg.
Sweet Kolt! Welcome to the board.
Great fish Kolt
...this place is Rockin.
Cheers, Don
Nice Kolt, good to see some pole spear photo's.
Obviously yours is a Gatku correct, any particular model/size?
Great pics. One of those fish look like the Med's Dentexes. Very nice.
How do you like NZ? I'm considering a 9-12 month sabbatical over there that was proposed to me earlier this year. I'd be working, but I'm sure I can find time to explore that beautiful land. I hear they have wild hogs too.
hi guys . is there a reason for using just a pole spear ?? are guns not allowed there ?? beautifull fish .
Welcome Kolt! Just curious what kind of polespear you are using with the "kingies' Looks like Crist?
Nice fish cool to see what other species people go after. Do you have any up close pictures of how your float line is attached to the spear?

Hey-- that is Chris Marshall! I know him. He is off to Tonga for Dogtooth & wahoo .
Cool post.
Great pics Kolt, must take some real discipline to wait for good shots with a polespear, well done!
Sergio, polespear is more difficult so the sense of achievement when landing a nice fish is greater. More into the sporting aspect of spearfishing.

Thats why I like it and continue to do it. If it ever comes to the point where fish is my only means of food then id consider a gun, but to me the sport and added difficulty is whats alluring and gives me great pride in whatever I bring to the table.
Is this fish the same as the California yellowtail, and is called a kingfish in NZ?
