The brainchild of New Zealand anglers Milan Radonich and Nikolaj Mathiesen, Big Angry Fish first aired on New Zealand’s TV3 in 2012. The fishing show has now run successfully for five seasons and can be seen by Australian audiences on 7Mate.
For the show’s upcoming sixth season, the Big Angry Fish boat has been refitted with a full suite of Simrad sportfishing electronics. Simrad provided this press release, its really just some PR, but the accompanying image of a big kingfish inspired us to share the love.
The Big Angry Fish boat, a Kiwi-built Extreme 650 Game King, is now equipped with a 16-inch NSS16 evo2 touchscreen multifunction display, 4G Broadband Radar system, BSM-3 Broadband Sounder with CHIRP, StructureScan 3D imaging, AP24 autopilot system with Simrad Precision-9 solid state compass, and RS12 VHF radio.
The dual-channel BSM-3 sounder is fitted with twin Airmar transducers: a B175L-20 low frequency CHIRP transducer for maximum depth penetration, and a B175H-W high frequency/wide angle CHIRP transducer for detailed coverage at shallower depths. The B175H-W also offers the ability to quickly search large volumes of water, thanks to its extra-wide coverage.
Adding the StructureScan 3D module and transducer means the Big Angry Fish crew will also have access to a 3D view that makes it easy to determine where fish and structure lie in relation to the boat. The 3D view can be adjusted with a fingertip on multifunction display. More on the Simrad gear at
