ANGLERS from around the country flocked to Nagambie in pursuit of the GoFish Nagambie Tournament’s infamous $80,000 cod. This year, hometown advantage paid off as 18-year-old local, Jono Moore landed his first metre-long cod on the Saturday morning, measuring 105cm and claiming the top spot on the leader board.

As to what he’s going to do with the cash. Jono wants to buy a fully kitted out boat to pursue the rest of the big fish out in the local waterways, but mum has other ideas. She’s suggested he buy a block of land and eventually build a house on it.
