Was fishing in the Augusta Marina yesterday and my cousins were catching some skippy and undersized snapper and I had a little popper out and was catching a few herring on the light gear and caught one perfect size for a livey so I grabbed my beach rod I had been using to chase salmon earlier on and rigged him up with a 6/0 through the back and chucked him in.

I jammed my rod but in between some rocks and kept fishing for hezza and I noticed my livey started swimming up current very fast. As I put my small rod down I saw chaos on the surface and it was something fn BIG and before I could grab my rod my 5000 Biomaster started screaming and I couldn't get the bloody rod out of the rocks for a good 10-20 seconds.

I managed to get my rod out out and tighten my drag but the fooker was heading straight towards the rocks and the second I managed to turn him and gain some ground my line went ping and I reeled in cut braid. One thing I know for sure is that this was this fish's first rodeo in the marina!

I was in the bend in the wall and the boys were at the end closer to where it struck and my brother swears it was a Kingfish but all all agreed there was no way it was a salmon. Does anyone know if there are Kingies that enter the marina?
