Interview with Tim McDonald, Tom Sandstrom, Kurt Raymond & More

Todays interview is with Tim McDonald, Tom Sandstrom, Kurt Raymond and the crew of frothing legends! Join us as we dive into part 1 of our Mackay Beyond The Hardline Charter on the liveaboard QE II! Join us for short interviews right out of the water and then part 1 of the big final night chat with the whole crew. Go through highlights, lessons learned and funny moments. Several Australian record fish were shot, monster size Mu, Coral Trout for days and even a Doggy to name a few of the species caught on this trip. We end with the start of a very serious moment that we can all learn from. Listen to part 2 coming in the next few days! Massive shout out to Ben Rennie, aka @benrennie_ for these awesome photos and Dan, aka @borgy_bjj on IG for the awesome drone shots!
