Show Notes
The Block, big tuna, blue marlin, kingfish and a six-month family adventure across Western Australia.
Kyal Demmrich from The Block joins us to talk about life after reality TV, building and renovating on the Central Coast, and why fishing has become such a huge part of his world.
From chasing 60kg yellowfin tuna on Pro Fidgies to losing a giant blue marlin, Kyal gets into the reality of offshore fishing — what works, what doesn't, and the lessons that come when everything seems dialled in.
We also talk boats, jigging for kingfish, chasing snapper on plastics, family fishing adventures and how Kyal and Kara built a renovation and content business after The Block.
