VIDEO: Bird joins fishing quest

Captain Blair Wiggins gets a double surprise in his pursuit of grouper.

The celebrity fisherman is visited by a bird as he attempts to catch grouper in Florida in the USA.

Wiggins is also surprised by the fish at the end of his line.

The silver glow rules out his target species.

Grouper, of course, are dark brown and his fight is clearly with another type of fish.

Alain Tardin and I sure are hoping for something silver at Quattro King of the Sea at Pumula this weekend.

Couta, yellowfin tuna, Natal snoek and wahoo will be the target species.

A yellowfin of 24.55kg won the first prize at Pumula last year.

No species other than the four above can be kept and even target species can only be kept in limited amounts.

All other fish must be returned to the ocean alive.

We hope to have some awesome footage from the KZN south coast soon.

Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy the video of Wiggins, a bird and a surprise catch.
