Old mate: "...don't let him go around the rocks, he'll break you off...". Tony, land-based kingie catcher of considerable experience, somehow holds his tongue.
Such a nice fish!! I will be hunting my first yellowtail ever this coming summer in Mexico so excited and getting a new set up😆 what pound line are you using in that saltiga??
At a guess I would say that measure mat was from a fishing comp, most tackle shops in NZ would have them just not to sure if many do international shipping. Cabelas in the US sell one similar it would be feet and inch's though not meters like that, I think it was called a Cuda measure?
Piece of piss on good Gear I have a fin nor 9500 only fits 150m of 80pound mono but you just lock and load with 27kg or so drag.lol and those zeeman big soft baits or sluggos work mean as:)
