Here at NZ Fishing World, we like to help out keen young fishing publishers where we can. Here's a great vid produced by young Milan from Fishbro NZ, you can subscribe to his YouTube channel once you get there.

Milan's obviously a pretty accomplished angler and we might see some more of him in the future.
