Fisher Terrifies Groper

Rhys Mitchell, skipper of 'Island Explorer' and his deckie Kane McArtney took a break from harvesting surf clams in Cloudy Bay recently to take advantage of a calm Cook Strait and try their hand at fishing. The boys were humming, pulling up big blue cod before finding a hole full of groper, landing five nice fish before calling it quits. All the groper suffered postraumatic shock syndrome and are now undergoing counselling!
