We fished the same place 20 odd years ago.We had lots of kingfish swimming around us and in the farm...We tried every method to catch one..nope.So frustrating some were huge.
Only kingfish I've ever smashed at the farms was via bouncing my snapper flasher rig just below where I could see the top hook haha. It's stupid what they'll ignore vs what they'll take. 91cm. Awesome memory.
