Kingfish handcrafted in New Zealand from recycled copper.
The Yellowtail Kingfish grows up to 1.7 metres long. A large fish of northern waters, which moves south in summer months to about Banks Peninsula. Its colour is variable in shades of grey-green to blue-green with yellow fins, particularly the tail fin, and there is a yellowish brown stripe along the sides. The large head, streamlined form and short low first dorsal fin are readily-observed features.
Its food is mostly other fishes, either bottom or surface kinds. Piper or garfish is a surface species commonly taken. This sought-after sport fish is taken with a wide range of techniques including trolling, live baiting from shore or boat, jigging, and fly-fishing. The worlds largest kingfish are found in New Zealand and most world records are held here.
