I am a notoriously bad net man. I am way to excitable. I rush in and take the first opportunity without much thought… Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it ends in disaster. In short, when you catch a trophy, get someone else to net it or cross your fingers and hope the gods are on your side.
Luckily for me, when I’ve caught some of my bigger fish, I’ve had Graz by my side. Like on Saturday. I was lucky enough to hook a good trout. A very good trout for Australia. When the opportunity presented itself, Graz nailed the net shot.
Graz is the anti me. He is the ultimate net man. Calm, cool, collected. If a good shot turns bad, he pulls back in time. When a shot presents itself, there isn’t a hint of indecision. He is decisive and exact. He is the guy you want by your side when you catch a good fish. Give him the opportunity and he will take it.
Just witness his brilliant work in the video below.
So, when you are out chasing trophies or need to transfer beers between boats when under tow, make sure you have someone like Graz by your side.
A good net man is priceless. Get to know one and keep them close.
To finish, here is some more of Grazza’s great net work.
