Hey All,
What a great site you have here. I was with "Ken" when he landed these fish. This guy is an incredible fisherman. I have never seen anyone put it to a fish like he does. It was amazing to see him run along the edge of the drop off to keep this big fish from hooking up on the rocks. To land the fish, he found a crack with a slope to the water. I leadered the big one and held it on the rocks while a young Tongan helped me lift it up the rocks. On another fish, when a surge came he would grab the leader, drop his rod and scramble down the rocks and hoist the fish up the side and into a tidepool, so it would stay alive while talking on camera prior to release. WOW! What a pleasure it was to watch someone with such skill. How many fish do you figure he has busted off over the years. I would be broke from lost lures alone.
Take care all,
Kurt
