5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: a bloke who raises a lot of money for charity.

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: He's reeled in the sixty nine cent to me to

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: catch while taking his daughter fishing at the freshwater section

Speaker 1: I bet you are. Tell me how it all unfolded.

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 2: Mate, Yeah, Well, basically, it was a couple of nights

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: before the full moves. I thought it'd be a good

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: chance to go for a little sneaky night fish and

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: talk the daughter up. We about how we're going to

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: catch a red tag and we're going to get a

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: million dollar bars and she could buy herself a horse,

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: and got the seal of a prew and went out

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: and yeah, we got three barrow that night, and the

21
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: third on we caught, couldn't believe it hit the deck

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: and there it was a red tag sticking out.

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Of the oh ic. What was the reaction from you

24
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: and your little girl?

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: Oh, there was lots of screaming. It's amazing. Yeah, just

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: to see that, and then straight away your mind starts going,

27
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: it's a million dollars, it's a million dollars. I bet.

28
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Now was it just the two of you on the

29
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: boat or who was there?

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: That was my other guy, Tyro to come out with

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: us as well, so he needed it for me. He

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: did a good job on the net that time. Oh.

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: Now, what's your little girl's name? How old is she now?

34
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: So? Stella? She's turning seven on Thursday. Actually, so yeah,

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: there's a big birthday coming up.

36
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: Maybe is she getting a horse for her birthday?

37
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: I think we needed a million dollar to get the

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: horse up. She might have changed it to a quad

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: bike now, Oh.

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: Quad bike's pretty good going.

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: Anyway, she's pretty so you should have a good party

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: for her.

43
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I bet. What was her reaction?

44
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was screaming we got a red tag. Yeah,

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: she was pretty excited. But she didn't believe it either,

46
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: you know, we always just talked about it joking around

47
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: to actually see one for real.

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: Oh, Lincoln it would have been exciting, to put it mildly, mate,

49
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: I understand though, hasn Naomi been waiting for a new

50
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: kitchen for a while? Is that out the window?

51
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: That's my excuse to go fishing for the last ten years?

52
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: I said, why a new kitchen? Ten thousand dollar fish?

53
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 2: So I might have lost excuse to go fishing down.

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: Oh how awesome now, Like, was your daughter just screaming

55
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: when it happened. Was she just going, yes, I'm getting

56
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: a horse or what.

57
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: Was she Yes? She was straight away, I've got a

58
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: million dollars. We've got a million dollars. Oh what a

59
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: little one? Straight up?

60
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: How awesome? Now, talk me through where you were. I

61
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: know that everybody's always a little bit hesitant to kind of,

62
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, to share their fishing spots, but are you

63
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: able to give us a bit of detail.

64
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just the upper sections of the freshwater finish.

65
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: We just launched on our hard Castle road there and

66
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: basically went far from the ramp. We're just having a

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 2: bit of a bit of a troll at nighttime. And yeah,

68
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: we'd actually got two barrigeres beforehand, and then we decided

69
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: would pull up and turn around and as we were

70
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: turning around. I was whinding my lure and it was

71
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: just right near the boat and then whacked the barrier,

72
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: hit it just near the boat as I was winding

73
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: it in, and yeah, carried on, jumped and went under

74
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: the boat, and yeah, it was a good fish stick.

75
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: It was a bit of fun. And then we hit

76
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: the ground and it wasn't until it landed on the

77
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: floor of the boat that we saw that tag sticking out.

78
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: How wonderful. Yeah, I bet now, mate. I know that

79
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people who listen to the show will

80
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: know you from the wonderful work that you do, of

81
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: course for Max's cast for a Cure, But I mean

82
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: most people probably also know that you are a charter operator.

83
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: But in terms of you know, your day job and

84
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: being the charter operator talking to locals, you're out there

85
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: on the water. Water is I think they're gonna think

86
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: now when they when they hear that you've caught a

87
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollar barrow, they going to be keen as.

88
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it should fire them up a bit.

89
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the first question they all asked me, have

90
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: you ever got a red tag? You've ever got a

91
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: red tag? Well, now I can actually say, I believe it.

92
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: I did get one, to say, been ten years in

93
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 2: the make, and I've reckoned every year for the comp

94
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: and I don't actually get the fish that much myself

95
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: anymore because work. It was nicest to get out for

96
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: a social fish and you know, get the rewards.

97
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: Good stuff. I'm so happy for you. I think it's just,

98
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, such a wonderful thing for you and your

99
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: little family I made. I wish you caught the million

100
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: dollar fish. I don't think there would have been a

101
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: more deserving family, to be honest.

102
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have been amazing, but you baby during

103
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: four weeks times, that would have been a good little celebration. Yeah,

104
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: oh that's beautiful.

105
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: That is beautiful news. Well, look, I think Naomi deserves

106
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: the new kitchen. Definitely just putting it out there, old her,

107
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: I reckon, she' us. Oh mate, I'm like, I say,

108
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,960

110
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: and and it's no like, no doubt going to be

111
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: a good little, good little money boost I'm sure for

112
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: your family when you are expecting a new baby.

113
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely is a very expensive exercise. So it's definitely

114
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: going to come in handy cover into Christmas time.
