In this episode we’re joined by our mate Sam (Birchy) Birch aka The Barra King who is the man behind Birchy’s Fishing Tours.

Birchy might be known for catching monster barra, but the story behind the man goes much deeper. Sam (Birchy) Birch is a Balanggarra, Kija & Jaru man born & bred in Wyndham. 

In this episode Birchy opens about his upbringing, his culture and the challenges he faced as a young bloke. He shares how he turned a life shaped by violence, trauma and anger into one driven by purpose, vulnerability and faith. He talks about how fishing, country and culture became his escape and his identity. This one is powerful, honest and full of heart.

• Tagalong tours explained and what guests can expect on a day out with Birchy
• His journey from violence and anger to vulnerability, growth and purpose
• How he reads a river, the signs he looks for and how he hunts big barra

• The wild story of a croc launching up a bank during a night bait run
• A venomous snake incident involving his daughter and how he handled it
