    We have all heard about the one that got away. But this story is a bit different. It is about the one that didn't get away. Anthony Cass has been chasing the big one for nearly 10 years and has been a. keen fisherman for most of his life. The big one for Anthony was a 170cm Giant Trevally (GT) caught off Moreton Island. Many people that fish for this type of fish have big boats and crews. Anthony has a 15ft boat, himself, his gear and his camera. We talk about the day, what it meant to him and the fight pulling it in - a fish nearly as big as him. Make sure to watch the video of his catch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbSQWBNoUV0&t and you can follow Anthony here: https://www.facebook.com/pelagic.hunter.angler https://www.instagram.com/pelagic.hunter/
