  Episode #30

  $70K, Three Swords, and a Chip on Their Shoulder Mark Phillips + Jason van Esch

  Jul 20, 20261h 26mS1

  Mark Phillips grew up in Whitianga casting hand lines with Mum and Dad before discovering soft baiting and slowly working his way into competition fishing. Jason van Esch, a builder and tiler from Auckland, found his way back to fishing through camping trips, trailer boat comps, and a burning desire to be the guy walking away with the reels. A bromance forged on a building site and sealed somewhere out past Cuvier. Part 1 is a front-to-back masterclass in what it takes to compete at the Kubota level — from the early trailer boat days chasing snapper prizes, to the first Kubota entry in 2021 where a tagged stripy and a stranger calling them "little bitches" at prize-giving lit a fire that's been burning ever since. The stories you won't forget: Mark's first blue marlin on a broken rod at 500 metres. Jason's first blue, lost after an hour with no gimbal. Kylie's five-and-a-half-hour sword battle. Thirteen winds from a monster they never got. Part 1 ends with three swords tagged, $70,000 in the pocket, and a chip on their shoulder the size of a black marlin.

  Episode #28

  He broke his back for a fish | 4x NZ Surfcasting Champion | Chad Prentice

  Jun 22, 20261h 16mS1

  Chad Prentice is a four-time New Zealand Surfcasting Champion and Shimano representative who has spent his life finding the most inaccessible stretches of coastline in the country and figuring out how to fish them. From skipping school in Wairoa to hitch a ride to the beach with cat's meat for bait, to swimming rivers in the dark at 3am with a full pack to win national titles, Chad's approach to land-based fishing is as hard out as it gets. In this episode, Nick and Chad break down the full art of reading a surf beach — water colour, wave period, sand ridges, tide, moon phase, and why where you plant your rod stand is the single most important decision you'll make. Chad also gets into slide baiting for kingfish in the surf, why going as light as possible creates the most opportunities, and how the same principles that apply to boat fishing apply just as much when your feet are planted on the sand. The stories are something else. Two national title campaigns that involved 3am river crossings, pterodactyl-sized mozzies on 90 Mile Beach, and carrying a full load of competition fish out on foot across some of the most rugged coastline in New Zealand. Then there's the time at Cape Maria van Diemen where a collapsing volcanic rock sent Chad fifteen metres onto his back, broke his neck and spine in three places, and put a knife through his bag into his back — and he still looked at the conditions and thought they were good. A roosterfish in Puerto Rico is still on the bucket list. Everything else, he's pretty much done. 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts | Watch on YouTube — Search Get The Net ✅ Chad Prentice: https://www.facebook.com/hardcoreoutdoorsnz ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 Meet Chad 15:00 Winning the Nationals 30:00 Reading a Surf Beach 45:00 The Fall at Cape Maria 1:00:00 Slide Baiting & Kingfish in the Surf 1:15:00 Gear, Line Diameter & Going Light 🔗 Links & Socials: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@getthenet_nz Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1824558692 ✅ Follow Us: Instagram: @getthenet_nz | TikTok: @getthenet_nz | Facebook: @getthenet_nz 🎵 Music: Proctor - Topher Mohr & Alex Elena | Satellites - Swello | Momentum - Zplit | Source: YouTube Audio Library
