The East Warrnambool boy was one of many hopeful anglers, casting a line to score the catch of the season.
Peter told the photographer that he had already felt “one bite” but it had escaped.
The angling club competition attracted 45 entries across the region.

The young man was also the winner of the largest catch all-round and was presented with a prize in early December.
