Episode 129 - Matt Durell - The IkiPik
This week we are joined by Matt Durell, a WA based fisherman who is behind The IkiPik, an Ikijime device that is designed to quickly and humanely kill your catch, ensuring premium eating quality. We chat with Matt about his own fishing in the West, get a run down on how and why to use the product and also discuss the pack he has produced with Tuna Champions which contains everything you need to maximise the eating quality of your catch. We also touch on his other brand, SW Skeletal, which offers a service where Matt will turn your fish frame into a high quality mounted skeleton, keeping your prized catch for a lifetime - He even offers this service to interstate anglers such as us here in SA.
We also have all the latest fishing news from across the state:
- The Wirrina Tuna Slam has been delayed until next weekend (Feb 22/23) due to bad weather.
- A fisheries boat capsizes while crew was trying to board the Tacoma off Port Lincoln
- The Boating Safety Strategy from 2025-2030 has been released
- RecFish SA and DIT are running clinics to help people service their lifejackets
- Another drowning off Browns Beach on Yorkes - Should SA introduce mandatory lifejackets for high risk rock fishing locations similar to other states?
- The worlds shortest fishing season has wrapped up in Michigan - you won’t believe how short it was!
We have all the latest fishing reports including Tuna, Yellowfin Whiting, Blue Swimmer Crabs and some epic footage of a Great White off Yorkes! Plus some important gear to stash away in your boat as our tackle item of the week!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
