JOHN Cahill “Bluewater Johnny” is a man who does not do things in halves. One of his passions is fishing, and he lives and breathes the lifestyle, catching monstrous fish, from XXX sized GT in Oman to just about everything you can poke a stick at locally in Australia.
It isn’t just about catching fish, but doing it in a way that respects the place/fish he extracts.

Zac Panaretos catches up with chefs and fishos to chat about catching, cooking, and sustainable seafood.
Ahead of the 2026 Trophy Hunter Snapper Bash, Zac sat down with event founders Sondal Bensan and Michael Bonnici at the Pier Hotel in Coffs Harbour to uncover the story behind one of Australia’s fastest-growing snapper competitions.
We dive into the ethos of the event, what anglers can expect on the water, and share valuable insights on conditions, tactics, techniques, and safety before lines hit the water.
