MATT WATSON

Grew up in a small town in Auckland. He started fishing when he was 3 years old with his father and grandfather.

He lived in Weymouth and had a dinghy that he went out in by himself when he was 7 years old. He was a fishing nut.

Once Matt had left school he started fishing for a job as a commercial fisherman for his uncle.

He had a fight with his uncle and his job ended. He then started roofing houses but still went fishing every weekend.

When Matt was 25 he decided to have a go at being a skipper on a game fishing boat in the Bay of Islands.

He worked on a boat called Primetime.They caught the most Marlin for the season.

MATT then started writing for the fishing magazines.

And with no experience he decided to start a TV show with his mate who also knew nothing about TV.
