Synopsis
Labelled the king of combat with a crushing jaw, helmet head and powerful tail, the Snapper can live up to 40 years old and reach as much as 18 kilograms in weight according to Australian records. Currently, to catch one over 14 kilograms is rare and Rugby League legend turned fishing expert Andrew 'ET' Etthingshausen is determined to find out why this is the case. Snapper are found along the coastal waters of Australia in six of its eight states and territories, and in New Zealand around Auckland. Only trouble is that Great White sharks also roam these waters, a lesson quickly learned by ET.
