The source provides extensive excerpts from an article detailing the tragic death of Paul Barning, an experienced Australian game fisher, during a tournament in February 2025. Barning, a respected figure in the community and a devoted family man, was pulled overboard and disappeared after the trace line connecting him to a massive shortfin mako shark became entangled around his hands. The episode outlines the harrowing final moments witnessed by his crew, the immediate search efforts that proved fruitless, and the ensuing coroner's inquest that ruled his death as a misadventure due to entanglement, rather than a shark attack. Ultimately, the article serves as a tribute to Barning's life while also highlighting the inherent dangers of competitive game fishing, leading to new safety recommendations known as the "Barning Protocols."
