He was there on a week-long fishing adventure. He was aboard "Captain” Fritz White’s boat with deckhand Barry White in the background witnessing the catch of a life-time.
Other members of the group all surrounded him during his 10-minute “marathon” with this mighty Murray Cod. Andrew caught and released the monster.
The lure - called a 'Tarki' - was made by Terry Marshall's Garra Lures.
“The boys were all pretty excited to see it. Lip grips were too small. Lucky David Martel who was close by had a big net they borrowed to haul him in. “And now I just have to live with him,” Andrew’s wife, Lisa said.
