UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT
WR
On his very first fishing trip to the Amazon, WR delivered one of the most remarkable performances of the week. At just 14 years old, he landed the two largest fish of the final stretch, breaking the 80 cm mark twice. A confident, composed performance that stood out as one of the defining moments of the season’s closing week.
Robo
After watching his son succeed earlier in the week, Rob stayed committed to the process. His opportunity came after sustained effort, when a solid take turned into a well-earned fight. The result was his standout fish of the week, a rewarding moment shared on the water during the final days of the season.
Scott
Even under demanding conditions, Scott’s experience showed. Staying sharp and methodical, he capitalized on limited opportunities and brought two strong fish to hand. A clear demonstration that knowledge, timing, and composure remain decisive factors on the Marié.
