Nice fish Philippe. The smokers on North Island will be working over time mate. 3 Kings has a few in in the 50 k range along with huge billfish.
Cheers, Don
Congratz Philippe on nice capture.
Is the Kingfish an Amberjack? Looks very similar. What was the weight of the big one? I'm guessing 60lb.
If I'm not wrong is just as the California yellowtails, cousin of amberjacks.

King fish/ king is a "seriola lalandi" like yellowtail
I did two expeditions to these isolated rocks off the north of the NZ north island
it takes one night to get there and few opportunities to boat because stormy sea all the year++
water is cold and currents strong
have to be careful while diving around the rocks because of currents which push you like a wisp of straw to the depth!
massive kingfish made curious by flasher... pretty tough fighters
white shark may be seen because of seals

Do you have warning this is about to happen? Is there time to react?
