I want to hear @JK s opinion on this , I’m not sure what the land based guys will think about a long line catch
Its pretty farken random and interesting but I don't think I would go around saying I caught NZ's first landbased marlin after making a catch like that in that manner. A mate of ours lassooed one in the shallows at omaha with her dog leash about 8 or 9 years ago. Not that different to this guys catch given it came off the hook 50metres or so out and was then dragged in to shore!
Still bloody cool catch!

There was that story not long ago of a surfer who caught himself a huge snapper. The fish was just sitting at the surface when he grabbed it, likely it was sick or injured.
Can be some tinny fish stories out thereTinny bastard. It's like the fish couldn't be bothered anymore and was begging to be caught

There was a kid doing beach patrol on Paraparaumu about 6 years ago that found a bluefin tuna in the surf. Silly bugger left it in the chiller while he waited for someone to make a mould of it and it was well past it’s best by the time they got to eat it. It must have been in a bad way to be struggling in the surf in the first place imho.

@jk yea I always remember talking to a dude who was fishing off the rocks for Kingi, and he hooked into a small stripey, he reckons watching the km or so of line go off his reel was the most exhilarating 10 mins of his life.

He's obviously never had a decent root in his life.

I had a marlin (think black) pass in between the rock and I was standing on and my livebait once not far from cape brett! Closest I've come.
Also got spooled by something up the top of coromandel one year which basically dived down a few metres from the surface and headed for great barrier. Took 350m of 24kg line pretty quickly. Couldnt even even slow is down!

Now the office area reeks of fried bacon. I am not happy
My bacon alarm just went off. Minor semantic issue there. Technically it couldn't "reek" of bacon because it's bacon and impossible to smell bad.
Oh, and fire the lot of them. Bastards, that is just cruel.
-
@Snowy I did consider the inappropriateness of the word reek but decided to go for it as when the office smells of fried bacon but you cannot eat any it is an offensive smell.
As for your second point - seriously considered it, but then I would have to do some work.

Sorry to interrupt the bacon thread.
I wonder how much $$$ the wonderful Mrs Lomu asked for when she heard they were going to name a street after Jonah?
South Auckland street to be named after All Black legend Jonah Lomu
A new road due to open will honour one of the world's greatest rugby stars - Jonah Lomu - just a few metres from where he once played as a schoolboy. Jonah

"Speaking to the Herald, Nadene Lomu said it was an honour to have her husband acknowledged in such a way, but admitted he may have been somewhat embarrassed about it."
I think he would be far more embarrassed by the way you've carried on, you mercenary trashbag.
