While half of SEQ yapping shit, re-tying knots at the Christmas table, Fluffy’s out here dressed like Santa and absolutely skull-dragging tuna. That yellowfin just got sentenced to life. Straight to the deck. No appeals. No excuses. This isn’t luck. This isn’t coincidence. This is SEQ royalty doing royal things. Fluffy rocks up, empties his sack whilst all the other men are sleeping, and heads home while the rest of you are unaware. So raise a tin, tip your hat, and accept reality: There’s one king in SEQ… Fluffy! Merry Christmas Fluffy your babies Daddy 🎣

Thought I was done? Nah — just snacking on tuna. Fluffy out here turning “just a quick flick” into full-blown tuna beat down. Blink and its bent rods, bleeding thumbs, and haters suddenly sucking it from the back. 🎣😂 Sunny Coast losers yelling “lUcKy!!!” Mate, luck didn’t tie this knot, your misses did. I don’t chase tuna… they line up to become victims. Stay salty. I’ll stay fed Cheers Fluffy 🎣

Rolled up and absolutely smacked a yellowfin like pipey from the sunny coast. 🎣💀 Quick scrap, quick photo, then sent it back belly up, spinning into the blue like a free Uber Eats for the taxman. Hope the bull sharks enjoy dinner — consider it my good deed for the day. 🦈😂 Meanwhile the shore-side experts are still arguing over whose point 🧪 it is next. I don’t overfish… I redistribute food chains. King of the water, feeding fish and egos. Cheers Fluffy 🎣
