Kingfish continues to fascinate anglers.
A violent bite on a lure swimming on the surface of the water. And the overwhelming speed and power.Endurance to keep resisting until you catch it.
The great feeling you get when you overcome everything.

Casting for Kingfish is everything that game fishing is all about.

The fishing location was on the Sea of Japan side of Yamaguchi Prefecture on December 8, 2023.
This is still the time to chase relatively large baits such as young mahi-mahi(dolphinfish) and needlefish(garfish).
Since large lures are effective, tackles are mainly set up for PE line #8 to #10.

In the morning, the tide and wind were good, making it easy to respond to the top water.
After that, the tide and wind did not match, but we got a momentary opportunity.

This video is full of difficulty and excitement.
Please take a look.
