Kingfish

There is something about yellowtail kingfish that all anglers love, maybe it's the challenge? - give these things a chance and they will take you to the cleaners. Maybe it's there stunning physical form? Or maybe because it's hands-on fishing where you are holding the rod when the fish takes the live bait or smashes into the jig?

If you want big kingfish New Zealand is the place, in the Bay of Islands, the Bay of Plenty and at the Three Kings Islands angler can expect to tangle with 25kg Yellowtail kingfish and be ready for when that 40 kg brute comes along.
