35 years ago. Mum, Kingfish and a smile.

From the day she could walk to literally the day she died she was fishing or thinking about fishing.
These beauties were caught in a couple of hours fishing with a hand line off Sanfords wharf in Tauraga harbour. This was a very regular catch...mum had the nack.
Now we can travel for 80 kilometers in our little boat and fish all day in the deep ocean and almost never get a haul like this.
Her dad, his dad and his dad were all fisherman....its what we do. (Well except me!)
