My Epic Battle – from Ken to BK’s Gold Coast Fishing Charters – At daybreak on the 4th of October while most of my work colleagues were in slumber land, an epic battle between man and beast was underway in the Pacific Ocean. I was on BK’s Gold Coast Fishing Charters boat approximately 9 kilometers out to sea opposite Surfers Paradise, when I hooked this monster of the deep. The skills I had learnt in the waters of the Goulburn River were of little use. This, “whatever it was” took the live baitfish with such force that I thought I had hooked Jaws III.

An intense struggle then took place between fish and man, the fish desperately trying to throw the hook, tow us to the south pole or pull me out of the boat, me wondering – “What the hell is going on here.” I attempted to reel it in, centimeter by centimeter, meter by meter, painstakingly, frustratingly but with amazing anticipation of success mixed with pangs of anxiety and fear of failure it inched closer and slowly closer to the boat, (the coaching of technique from the crew was incredible) finally a flash of colour – brown and white, a silhouette – huge, a fin broke the surface, someone called “shark”, Capt’n Bob grinned – “nah – better – Cobia – Black kingfish – fantastic eating”, I was elated, thinking victory was close, the gaff was within one meter – to my astonishment it “ran” taking out what seemed to be more line that it previously had – 4 Bloody times, 4 different Bloody directions, then it just sulked on the bottom. All along Captain Bob, shouted instructions in colorful dialect, “If you let it rest, we’ll be here all day – but when it runs let him run, when it stops, turn him – he’s buggered – work him back – pump and wind – smooth – “Rex would be proud of you”. 33 minutes passed, (by the stop watch) it seemed like 3 hours, the gaff struck, slam – it hit the deck to the thunderous cheers of all on board – I stared in shock – did I really catch that? Someone said, pick it up – it’s Kodak time, where did the strength come from? How do you feel asked Bob – What a rush, they won’t believe this back home. It weighed 39kg, made the Channel 9 news (fish of the week) and all my mates back at the Gold Coast resort we stayed at were eating juicy fresh fish for the remainder of the week. Thanks to BK’s Gold Coast Fishing Charters – for the unforgettable experience.
