Logan Herangi onboard Equalizer has been putting in the hard yards down at Waihau Bay over the past 3 days.

After dropping 3 other fish, this beauty finally stuck! Persistence pays off, and what a reward. Awesome effort Logan!

Fishing the ICEBREAKER COMPETITION 2026 up Houhora ways and making it count. Awesome, well done Ariel!

The Rollin Coal boys have had an absolute epic couple of days at Waihau!

Late last night, Jay Curley tagged and released an estimated 40kg SBT. Then Jay, Sumo and Brian all put one on the deck, with fish ranging from 30–50kg.

To top it all off, Brian landed an absolute cracker this morning that pulled the scales down to 76kg! (Gutted & gilled)

Epic couple of days at Waihau. The boys are on fire!
