Tristan – The Shark Wrangler Hunter and Gatherer Kangaroo Island

Tristan-The shark wrangler hunter and gatherer

Tristan is well known for his adventurous spirit on the land and the sea, and earlier this year, he’s earned a new nickname: “Shark Wrangler”

Before diving into the busy eucalyptus harvest season, Tristan has been out on the waters of Kangaroo Island, embracing his passion for crayfishing, one of his true loves.

An earlier adventure this year, recently made waves on TV, YouTube, and social media channels. He became a viral sensation when he was filmed wrangling a bronze whaler shark that had mistakenly been hooked on a fishing line. Witnesses were shocked as Tristan removed the hook and bravely dragged the shark back to the water! He had always dreamt of swimming with a shark so he took the opportunity to hold its fin and have a swim with it as it swam away!

The footage quickly went viral, with headlines dubbing him the real life “Shark Wrangler” and celebrated his fearless approach to the sea. Dudding him an Aussie daredevil behind wrangling a 3 metre predator back into the water. (Tristan only spoke on one TV program and refused all others, Channel 7 Sunrise, somehow people just took the footage and made it their own!!)

Fishing has always been in Tristan’s blood. Whether he’s out with family or mates, he’s a true hunter and gatherer, always managing to reel in a great catch. It’s clear that the ocean is in his heart, and his love for the water is as deep as the adventures it brings. (The kids think they want to get fishing shirts made with the shark wrangler on it!)

We are glad Tristan also loves nature and the land and enjoys his work at Emu Ridge. Being a builder by trade he is also being dragged off to help out on building projects. Hes a jack of all trades!
