RIP Hal Harvey

Proud to have been able to call you a friend.

It was a long struggle and you fought harder than anyone could of.

A real legend of the wa fishing scene.

 RIP Hal

Quite shocked to read this , legend of Western Australian fishing. I remember reading about him chasing those monster tailor, and watching that ifish ep where they chased shark bay tailor on lures is what got me into serious lure fishing.
