Over the past couple of months there have been subtle murmurs between fellow Pirates as to who was going to be the first to catch that all elusive 20kg+ Sydney Kingfish....aarrrrrgh!!

Mike's 17kg PB

Mike Bonnici aka The Fish Yoda was definitely leading the way, catching a number of fish around the 14 - 15kg mark and a Sydney PB of 17kgs. Fellow Pirate Chris Hack also pinned a nice 15kg fish from the stones on a popper, which in itself was an awesome feat! The prospect of catching this trophy fish all seemed a little far fetched.....until KING CLARKY came along.....Aaaarrrrgh!!!

 Hack's 15kg from the stones

Nick Clark aka Captain Feathersword is a Founding Member / Writer and Inspiration behind the Long Reef Pirate Crew. With his vast and extensive knowledge of fishing that extends back many moons ago to his early childhood, it was no wonder this Pirate was the first to find the Treasure...Aaarrrrgh!!

Only a week ago Nick and close mate Mike Bamforth set out in search for BIG King off Sydney, and sure enough BIG King is what they found. Catching a total of 3 Kings with a few bust offs inbetween, Mike hauled 2 nice fish @ 7 & 10kgs and King Clarky landed his Monster @ 20kgs even, making him the first LRPC member to break the elusive 20kg barrier in Sydney.
Congratulations my friend.....it is well deserved. See more pics of the Beast below....
