The BIGGEST Kingfish I Have EVER Seen! Strike Mission 1 to New Zealand delivered BIG on the fishing

Описание: Strike Mission 1 was about chasing one thing—the biggest Yellowtail Kingfish I’ve ever caught.
So we sent it to Whitianga, New Zealand, on a simple mission: Travel fast, fish hard, and get home.

The crew - me, Churchy from Churchy’s Charters and Bryn from Joint Ventures NZ. The mission almost didn’t happen - the weather looked horrible all week, but late Friday a perfect window opened. By Sunday morning, we were on!

From the first drop, the fish were biting within minutes and they only got bigger throughout the day. It was chaos—non-stop hookups, and nearly every fish was huge! By the end of the day, we’d landed over 15 kingfish, including my personal best, and Bryn’s giant coming over the side was a moment I’ll never forget.

In total, it was 60 hours and 36 minutes door-to-door: early flights, long drives, one day on the water, and a lifetime of memories. This was one of the best fishing session of my life—and exactly what Strike Missions are about.

This is just the beginning. We already have two more Strike Missions lined up:

Two charters in Mexico – chasing giant yellowfin tuna, Day of the Dead, and roosterfish this October/November.

Namotu Island – a week of non stop fishing, chasing everything it has to offer this New Year.

We want your ideas for more!
