Catch BIG Kingfish using a Hand Line & Live Bait - Smoke the Belly!

[@Fishingreminder]

Awesome edit Mike! Love it. We have to do it again sometime, haha. It was such a good day and so much fun collaborating with you. You really captured the essence and vibe of the day in your edit. Catching a monster kingfish like that on a handline - it doesn't get any better than that. And your fish-smoking skills with the weber are out of this world. You got that nailed, it was the most delicious smoked kingfish we ever had. Also thanks for letting us sample the Pikopiko - very unique and a perfect complement to the fish.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Great day alright, Fish Head Friday vid coming as soon as I smoke and eat the other half 😬 Fantastic drone and 2nd Gopro camera footage helped make this an EPIC adventure! See you after your holiday😀

The adrenaline is pumping pretty hard by this stage, nice for someone else to get the glory of catching one with a hand line for a change and happy to film that.

[@mufoua4069]

Awesome cook up bro always bought up that way no waste . You did right tho bro with fish eggs raws,but, put it in boil water for 10second first or so and than take it out and straight into cold icy water for 20second dry water out with paper towel and in to the pan ❤ you got the idea tho bro awesome! kai
