AUSTRALIA… ONCE IN A LIFETIME…

Few experiences can be labeled as “once in a lifetime”… A live-aboard, big-game fishing experience exploring Australia’s exquisite Great Barrier Reef for giant black marlin certainly qualifies. Fishing five days aboard Pelagic Pro Team Captain Haydon Bell’s immaculate 45’ Riviera Release, our film team experienced all that GBR and its famed Ribbon Reefs have to offer… and much more. From behemoth black marlin pushing the coveted 1,000-lb. mark, to frenzied dogtooth tuna and giant trevally annihilating any and all baits presented, to incredible dives amongst the rich and healthy coral reef ecosystem, this journey opened our eyes to a seldom-explored yet vastly-abundant ocean wonderland that should be added to any anglers bucket list. Truly, this is Once In A Lifetime…
