surprised the field by snatching 3rd place

You’ll notice Michael Beresford in 8th
place! He also took a gamble before
fishing began and it paid off!
He backed his own fish for the sealed
weight prize (revealed to be 16.6kgs) –
and his proved a winner
at 16,54kg.

Brand Ambassador Alain Kahn took the
prize for the heaviest Yellowfin Tuna -
with his fish of 25,72kg. Alain said he
hooked the fish in 5m of water on the
back line and he finally landed it at 26m.
His 12-year-old son Jordan had to skipper
the boat for half an hour while he fought
the Tuna.
Anglers, families and friends all gathered
in the giant marquee at the new Skiboat
Club site at the harbour mouth for very
festive afternoons of food, refreshments,
live music, and to watch the fish being
weighed-in.
Team Lowrance’s Liz, Mikala, John and
Steph were there over the weekend, to
meet existing and new clients at our
mobile Lowrance stand in the clubhouse.
They spent time showing off the new
units on display, giving tips and assisting
customers and competitors with any
technical queries.
John jumped on various boats to assist
customers with their set-up before
fishing began- ensuring that all Lowrance
customers were able to use their units to
the absolute max during the comp.
