In Pursuit of Happiness: Landing a Personal Best Kingfish During Softbait Competition

Join me on an unforgettable adventure in the Bay of Plenty, where 55 passionate kayak fishermen, including myself, take on a thrilling competition. This video isn't just about the big catches; it's about the journey, the camaraderie, and the unexpected moments that make kayak fishing so special.

From the quiet, early morning paddle to Otere Point to the intense battles with Kingfish right from the kayak, every moment is filled with excitement and the beauty of the natural world. Even though I didn’t take home the top prize, the experience was priceless—full of amazing encounters and the bond shared with fellow anglers. This is more than just a fishing trip; it’s about pushing limits, enjoying the process, and savoring the adventure. Come along and experience it with me!
