Using the bank angling technique, Willem caught one of the biggest fish of the day, weighing at 1,34kg.
Through the creation of a competitive platform for anglers wishing to attain the highest accolade, SABAA anglers have become a force to be reckoned with having represented South Africa at numerous international events.
“Fishing has always been my passion, and as much as I love being at school with all my learners, I also enjoy a bit of fishing on weekends when I’m free. It is therapy for me,” Willem added.
