KEVIN Boyder was in for a huge surprise when he went deep sea fishing on his boat Fine Line on Friday morning.
Targeting Amberjack just 20km south of Richards Bay, using a Bonita for bait, Boyders line took off like a freight train.
Kevin fought whatever was on his line for one hour.
When eventually landing the beast, he realised he had caught a 65kg Potato Bass, which is a protected species.
After taking a couple of photos with his prize catch, he subsequently released the fish.
