Image of Ian Kilpatrick of Wyalla with a personal best kingfish of 37 kg. Ian had a livebait skipping on the surface as the boat was moved a short distance when a massive splash erupted behind the boat with the kingy nailing the bait on the surface. It was eventually landed after a hectic fight in shallow water
