We had the pleasure of fishing with the top notch fishing team from New Zealand. The team fishes ultra light tackle for fish far about the ratio of the line. They had broken over 20 billfish records most of them in the last few years. Capt. John Batterton has been an old friend for years having fished many of the same hot spots all over the world. John’s anglers Guy and Erin stopped here on their way to fishing for the Blue fin tuna in Nova Scotia. They fished 2 days with us and we raised 2 fish. One we pitched the 2 pound test to and the fish fumbled the bait. The fish was about 120 pounds. Right when we were ready to get to work the fish dropped the bait. We worked the area and raised another fish around 300 pounds and we pitched the 8 pound test and it didn’t switch. I had a nice time with John catching up on the incredible catches they have been making.
