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 🎣

Went deap sea fishing with STRIKE. A very lovely early morning out. Between 6 people on board we in total managed to pull out 11 tunas. Excuse the weight, length, and lures being left out since I have no idea what was used nor did we weigh the 3 me and my partner managed to bring out. It was somewhere in Shelly Beach there's a launch and you can book boat there to go out.

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 🎣
