The Greatest Fishing Spot on Earth (w/ Brooksy)

In October of 2024, the boys and I traveled across the world to a place many claim is the greatest fishery on Earth — the legendary Great Barrier Reef.

We linked up with our Australian pen pal and resident fishing frother, Brooksy, for a two-week mission in his home waters, chasing the elusive Giant Trevally. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and easily one of the most memorable experiences we’ve ever had.

So sit back, grab your friends or family, and enjoy the first of three films from our adventure in Australia.
