I voted for yours last year and I was sad you lost to the louder more traditional entries.Yours was the most interesting and captivating, with the most heart. I really love the story arc and how well you included us in your adventure. The other entries were well made sport tv style projects but they definitely were not in the same cinematic universe.

This. Is. Adventure. The surprise challenges, the way you persevere. But you don’t just push through with a negative attitude, you have a palpable desire to explore and a thirst for what comes next. You’re the kind of guy anyone would be lucky to accompany into the unknown and here you’ve taken us all with you. What a privilege. Seriously, mate, there are a ton of good channels out there doin stuff like this, but you definitely stand out. 🤙

You might not always have the best fish but you always have the best stories and style. As a yak fisherman in exmouth its been incredibly informative following your channel. Im always a bit nervous about heading far out and chasing bigger fish but youve shown me whats possible if you apply a bit of bravery to a situation. Thanks also for uploading this vid. Didnt get a chance to watch the actual competition so its been great seeing them uploaded later on. If youre ever in exmouth and want some shit advice let me know.
