Episode 132: Steve, Ash and Popey review the Port Lincoln Tuna Classic
This week we are looking back on what was a hugely successful Port Lincoln Tuna Classic, that Dizzy fished in recently over the March long weekend. Steve and Ash have put in a mountain of work to put on another epic event, while Ash is also able to recount his time aboard the Vatican, owned by Popey; the team took out the Calcutta prize of $100k, while also catching the most fish and Champion overall angler. This is one of the best hauls a single boat could ever hope for and a huge testament to the skill and competitive spirit showed by the whole crew! Plus the boys are able to share the dates for next year events and give us a very early preview of the 2026 competition!
As always, we have all the latest news in SA fishing, including:
- An update on the Algal bloom that has killed sea life and closed beaches on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
- Rumours of an extension to the states ongoing snapper ban.
- More yabby net exchange from RecFish SA and Green Adelaide.
Our tackle item of the week is the new emergency weather radio from Nakd Travel, which is a great addition to anyone's gear when heading out adventuring! The product includes a radio, flashlight, battery pack and SOS alarm; it can be charged via solar panel, hand crank, AAA batteries or USB port. We also have the latest fishing report including a rare Swordfish capture out from Port Lincoln.

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.
