AHEAD of the 2026 Trophy Hunter Snapper Bash in Coffs Harbour, Zac sat down with event founders Sondal Bensan and Michael Bonnici at the Pier Hotel 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.

Zac Panaretos catches up with chefs and fishos to chat about catching, cooking, and sustainable seafood.
Zac catches up with Scott to announce our East Coast Tour, a four part “catch & cook” Masterclass being held in Sydney, South Coast of NSW, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
We also discuss the full range of GLOBAL Knives.
Check out the full GLOBAL Knife review HERE and tickets and more details for the East Coast Tour are available HERE.
