CRAZY! HUGE Snag But Kingfish Landed On Bream Gear - Parramatta River
Unbelievable Hook Ups On Kingfish (Yellowtail Amberjack) On Light Fishing Gear Caught On Snag After Monstrous Run But Somehow Came Free And Landed Fish After Tense Struggle.
What a session to get the blood pumping! Today I was fishing up the Parramatta River when a school of legal kingfish turned up and that was when the mayhem started. I started getting consistent hook ups and the odd smoking on my light outfit which I was running only 6lb line and leader. I was under-gunned as usual and it took everything I had to land that legal kingfish. To compound my problems, I was severely handicapped after getting wrapped around a rock on the dropoff after a big run as the fish tried to gain its freedom.
In this video, you can see the struggle and the emotions of the battle and I also run through the gear and lures which have worked for me so that you may find similar success also.

How was that kingfish fight and land guys? :) :) :) I was just about to squat down in despair when the fish came free off the rock lol
What a session! That screaming from reel is so additive. This is the third time I have come back to watch this. I also caught two kingies on the slim swimz (smaller 2.5inch one) before. For some reason, they just love the slim profile and went crazy for it.

Haha thanks Yu Hang. 👍 I re-watch some videos too. I agree; can't beat the Slim swimz on versatility. Love them.
Epic fight dude, very patient 👊🏼

Hey buddy can I ask you an honest question, how much money on lures have you lost and spent this year. Cheers tight lines

I have no idea, but I've lost plenty this year but luckily most of the cost has been soft plastics and jigheads and the odd respool of braid.
Do you much luck fishing that section? Fairly close to me but never tried that spot.

Yes, it's a decent area and I've had a bit of luck in that section. It's a great bay to live close to.
Epic fight! I’m thinking of getting a Battler 2-4 rod and want to put a Daiwa ignis 2505 on, do you think it’s too big for the rod?

Thanks Philip! That's a decent pairing. The battler 2-4 rod does pair up ok with a 250X reel even though I prefer a 200X. It's got a nice zaion knob and is a very Iight reel for it's size. I actually had an Ignis 2003H on the same rod many years ago. Any reason why you are looking at an Ignis?

Shroom I’ve already got a ignis but I’m finding it’s a bit too large for a 2-4 kg and too small for a 3-6kg rod
