There’s just over a month left before one lucky angler will walk away with the $85,000 Ultimate Prize Package, and all you need to do to get in the draw is submit an approved catch to http://www.fishingcomp.co.nz.
It doesn’t need to be the biggest fish either – but it does have to be photographed on an approved measure mat, which you can order on registration or via https://www.nzfishingnews.co.nz/products/measure-mat.
If you haven’t heard about the Ultimate Prize Package yet, here it is – an Extreme 545 Sport Fisher, fuelled by an efficient 100hp Honda engine. This beauty comes on a top-of-the-line GFAB trailer and is fitted out with the latest Lowrance electronics, the comfort of Seadek flooring, and extras from Shimano and Hutchwilco. The eye-catching wrap from Brave Design will turn heads and brings the total prize package value to $85,000! If you want to see the Ultimate Prize up close and personal, it will be on display at stand 177 of the Hutchwilco Boat Show.
We’ve received over 4,100 entries into the NZ Export Fishing Competition so far this season, and over 83 anglers have qualified for the Bayleys x LegaSea Angler Trifecta! There have been some significant leaderboard changes in the last few months, headlined by Neville Shirley’s monster snapper – one of the biggest we’ve ever seen in the Comp! Coming in at 91cm, and caught out at Cape Barrier, what makes this catch even more impressive is that it was caught from a jetski. Neville now also leads the Furuno Snapper World Cup!

Other notable catches include Brent Wall’s 74cm trevally, Jesse Crasborn’s 57.5cm john dory and Dan Musson’s 55.5cm tarakihi which now sit atop their respective species!
If you’re planning on heading out on the water, be sure to take an approved measure, snap a photo of your catch when you’ve pulled your fish onboard and submit it online – and just like that you’re in the draw. Tell your friends and family before it’s too late!
Tight lines.
