Kingfish on the Rocks

Director & Producer: Lars Romby Nielsen
Produced by: TV BELLE & DR
Duration: 28 min.
Year of Production: 2000
Original Title: Nye Fiskedagbøger fra New Zealand

The fishing trip starts on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island – straight out into the Pacific Ocean. Here it's possible to catch kingfish – one of the world's strongest fish – directly from the rocky coast. The biggest fish that is caught weighs about 25 kilos. So Lars Romby Nielsen and the local expert Mark Draper – really are put to the test. Their gear is pushed to the absolute limits and there are buckets of sweat.
