EP 41: His 8 Year Old Hooked the Fish That Broke the Internet, with Scott Gorman

<p>They headed out for a normal day chasing Queenies. His 8 year old son ended up hooking a fish that broke the internet.Full clip on instagram!</p><p>We're back at it with a ripper. Today Scott Gorman and the story behind one of the wildest clips going around, the one that has climbed past 24 million views and counting. His young bloke Fyn, jigging up big Queenies south of Weipa, hooking into a solid Spanish mackerel around 15 to 18 kilo, and a bull shark climbing all over it right at the boat.</p><p>The kid does not flinch. Not once. Scott just lets him have his fish, and that is why half the internet called it a father of the year moment. Fyn is 8 years old, has been in the boat since he was three, and has already won the Weipa Fishing Classic barra comp with a metre plus barra. An absolute machine in the making.</p><p>Scott lives up in Weipa on the west coast of Cape York, a place he calls a small Darwin where everything is trying to get you. We get into the bull shark situation up there that has completely exploded, the brand new Minn Kota that copped teeth marks the same day, and what it actually takes to raise a kid who lives and breathes this stuff.</p><p>Then right at the end Scott drops a croc story that put the fear right into me. Chasing pigs across a swamp, poking a stick to check the depth, with a three metre salty sitting a metre and a half from his hand the whole time. Pure luck he is still here to tell it.</p><p>This is everyday life up the top end for Scott. For the rest of us it is madness. The real version, straight from the bloke who lived it.</p><p>📍 Fyn Gorman: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fyn_gorman/">https://www.instagram.com/fyn_gorman/</a>📍 Scott Gorman: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sgormz/">https://www.instagram.com/sgormz/</a>📍 Aclassic Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_aclassic_/">https://www.instagram.com/_aclassic_/</a>📍 Host: Dan Muntz: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/danmuntz/">https://www.instagram.com/danmuntz/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Want to join our next episode?
