Today is the final day.
After spending some time to catch bait, we fished around Three Kings.  Immediately we got kingfish on jigs left and right.
I used the same Black Hole Cape Cod Slow Pitch rod/IRT 600 reel with 400g Catch jig.  After releasing two, I asked John to use my gear to take video and pictures.  John got a monster, but the main 60 lb JB Hollow line got broken while fighting.
He was very unfortunate for the whole trip as he even lost big kingfish as his Stella 10000's handle got broken while fighting a big kingfish.

John's kingfish was eaten by shark.  We lost some kingfish to shark.



John got another kingfish eaten by shark.



Andrew fighting a kingfish.



Jason of Catch Tackle got a nice kingfish.











When kingfish bites slowed down on jigs, bait fishing took over.

We had a great trip with great anglers and with crew.
We left at 3:00 pm for the dock and we arrived at the dock at 1:00 pm next day.
