Only one I got today. Was just over 34cm and I gave it to two local boys that were also fishing on the wharf.

South Wairarapa, Wellington

The six blueys, the half a kahawai (half used for bait heehee), and bits of doggy and wrasse there too. Excellent day out and now I believe surfcasting can catch fish haha.
