Shout out to all our amazingly awesome competitors who took part in Kapiti Big Fish 2026.
Despite the weather conditions leading up to the event (and immediately after) you all came out in support and gave it your all.
Congratulations to Aaron Tautua for taking out 1st and 2nd place and Harold Laguador taking 3rd place - catching the only 3 kahawai that showed up to the party. 🥇🥈🥉
To everyone that got into the spirit of our fancy dress up, thumbs up.......you provided many laughs and really picked up the vibe 😎🤩
Despite the dismal fishing and trying conditions with w**d and debris in the water, we hope you all had a great day and got home safely.
Keep an eye out for our post-event survey email - we value ALL feedback and really want to keep improving this competition for you.
See you all at Kapiti Big Fish 2027
Otaki Boating Club committee.
And not forgetting our magnificent competition sponsors 🙌👊
