A 20kg kingfish won Ashley Jones the $10,000 prize at the Your Solutions MegaFish Hawke's Bay competition.
Event organisers said the competition was a success despite more than 150 participants staying away due to adverse sea conditions.
Hosted by the Hawke's Bay Sports Fishing Club, the annual four-day fishing competition was forced to shorten to a one-day event due to rough seas.
But club president Neil Price said 425 people still took to the water in hope of winning the $10,000 prize.
