Thanks so much man I'm super stoked on it haha yea so close to legal kingy size. Im sure you will get one eventually. So are those horse mussels legal to gather etc not that I've ever seen a whole one intact before.
Love the under water shots

Thank you Taqi I know a guy who's got an 84cm one out of the harbour! But never the less I'm super pumped!
Very cool massive horse mussel dude. Did it fight much hahaha. Gotta say that I've seen lots of broken shell horse mussels but never a whole one

I couldn't believe it was stuck to the sinker like that and I had no idea what it was I thought I had a good fish on hahaha. Yes me too I've never seen a whole one!
Me and my friend who live in the same area went fishing at the local wharf, and my friend was in the tavern doing a couple jobs getting some food (only like 30 meters away), and I was crushing up some mussels. I saw my rod bend down, as far as i have ever seen it go, and this was my first time using a baitcaster, i reeled the fish in and saw it was a huge blue moki, bigger than my friend had ever caught, and I screamed at him to come down, but he didn’t believe that I had a fish, i landed it and I asked some guys for help, and then he came down and weighed it at 7.5 pound. It was my first and only moki so far.

Epic catch mate! Good to see ya's out on the bricks again. We have a lot of horse mussels in the harbour up my way, they account for a lot of the snags being half buried on the muddy/sand flats, and are annoyingly sharp enough to cut the line.

We call them razorfish (Pinna bicolor), they can be eaten, and if you are walking barefoot through seagrass beds, they can cut you to pieces.
