Damn that 1st king was real nice fish. That last one put up a mean fight for a small one.

[@KerryFlowers]

Yep that first one was a nice one, I was hoping for more of them out on the banks but even the smaller models put up a good fight on the west coast....Cheers!

[@FishingAdventuresHB]

Kerry Flowers Kayak Fisherman West sure seems to be best man. I’m still after that 40lb pin kingfish for our club

[@denisrailey777]

I would have taken the first Kingi & gone back home.Lol. Great video.

[@KerryFlowers]

Yeah but the weather was right to go out to the banks and you don't get that many chances to go out there! Cheers!!!

[@MarcGKiwi]

[@jbsanger696]

Great video mate! You are Legend!

[@KerryFlowers]

Cheers mate!!!

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

Brilliant trip. I live in the south of England, Isle of Wight to be exact, and I’m hoping to get out to a bank in my pedal yak about 2 miles off. I was questioning myself maybe I was pushing it a bit going out 2 miles, but watching you had inspired me. That was some distance off shore. Hats off buddy. Great fishing. Subbed

[@KerryFlowers]

Isle of Wight Bushcraft cheers for the sub! When it comes to going off shore I think that you need to work up to doing big distances like I do, it took me years before I felt that I could do the distances that I do now days, there is a lot to consider like getting the right conditions, taking enough food and water and overall body fitness. You also have to be mentally for enough to tough it out when the going gets tough but the rewards are worth it....Cheers!!!

[@KEMENYSEPRO]

[@KerryFlowers]

4 meters long, it is a Old town Predator Pdl. Cheers!!!

[@Jayden-xn9xo]

I’m a surf lifeguard there.... lucky you didn’t get your car stuck there 😂

[@KerryFlowers]

If I'd gone much further I prob would have lol - the little nissan mistral that I was in wasn't much good at towing the trailer...Cheers!!!

[@jamie_d___]

Kerry , enjoyable video , what sort of leader are you using on the falling jig , it looks very heavy is that a wind on double or just heavy heavy line class ? I have very little experience with jigging and am interested in the method

[@KerryFlowers]

Jamie D it's 140lb mono leader 4 meters long and connected to the braid with an fg knot....

[@Fluid36]

@@KerryFlowers I also like mono over fluro these days, gives you that extra stretch for and shocks and knots hold better.

[@KerryFlowers]

@@Fluid36 Yeah I really feel that in the larger diameters mono is a more suitable product...Cheers!!!

[@Fluid36]

@@KerryFlowers Yeah agreed, and even when chasing big flathead on hardbodies I use mono over fluro (only in 12lb) because I've lost too many fish by not having that shock absorption.

[@vitafolihk5956]

Nice one bro did u go for dive?...climb sand tune?....seen u around that day as well...i live around here in teneke village they call it 🍻....🐟kia ora bro

[@KerryFlowers]

Hello Kerry love your vlogs, what month or seasons you’re fishing there at NZ?
